I want to do a similar thing on Mrs Uplinker's car, which has a turbocharger.
Modern cars with modern lubricants and uh, a gentle throttle foot, may not need such an addition, especially since it may
void warranty and any failure of the added bits and pieces could lead to a lack of ALL oil pressure while happily motoring
down the freeway with not a problem in sight.
(‘This could also lead to an unhappy Mrs and as we know, an unhappy wife is not a good thing, no Sir..)

I have a twin turbo German automobile these days and trying hard to keep my fingers away from the engine compartment
as very little tinkering seems to be required, in fact none: The German engineers followed by fine synthetic oil appears to be a good
combination.

(Apologies for the thread creep, back to a gentle throttle hand for longevity of both man and machine)
