I made a small tank to catch the oil coming out of the turbo before it goes to the scavenge pump.   
 
I've thought about doing something similar, but can't imagine having the space to really do that.  I'd probably run it all the time, since I don't really fly that many hours anyway.  My guess would be that the motor would be the first to go, but it would probably last through 10 revisions of my engine.  Buly said it was guaranteed for life, but I think he meant MY life :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty (just kidding about the guarantee- remember, they aren't aircraft pumps, so don't ask David Staten to sue Buly <g>)
