<![CDATA[Slick question on turbo stuffins]]>So this will be a complete waste of time for most.

Differences in journal/ball bearing

The question in questioning:

What is the minimum oil pressure a turbo shall require at let's say 7-10k rpm?

How much oil flow does the turbo need

0-300gpm?

Minimum amount of oil needed in a closed system( separate tank and cooler would be used)

How many qts?

Scavenge pumps.

I recently purchased a 3-4 gpm pump for the hydraulic cooler on the dyno. Seems to work good not sure what kind of pressure it would build.

Very very different oil needs for journal bearing and ball bearing systems. Running a separate tank  with a ball bearing system can be very beneficial, as you can run lighter oil, for more efficient operation and faster transient response, as you often need quite a thick oil with a high output turbocharged engine.

-Find the oil pressure specs for your engines operating range  (lowest pressure and highest pressure)

-Obtain an oil fitting with restrictor that you would use with your chosen turbo

-Build a pressure vessel/container that can hold approximately a gallon of oil and withstand the highest pressure your oil pump can generate.

-Add an air fitting to the pressure vessel, set your air compressor regulator to the lowest pressure, see how much oil flows out over a given time. Repeat with your regulator set  at the highest pressure.

-Oil should probably be warmed to 200-230F for this experiment for greater accuracy.
