Draining turbos when they are lower than the oil pan

Hello guys...

I've been faced with this problem in a TT lt1 corvette we are building..

The turbos are lower than the oil pan, so it cannot be gravity drained back to the oil pan...

My question is:

I though of using a wet sump to drain the oil back from the turbines, but I am unsure how to do this.. Anyone have an idea... or a better way to do it?

Thanks

Your best bet is probably a scavaging pump. I would probably make a container that held a qt of oil. dump the feeds down hill then put the pump on the bottom of the container. Use -10 line to the container then probably a 12 to the pan.
