Now my fingers are crossed for my latest attempt at oil pressure control but honestly if we need to go to an external oil pump, I just do not see a way to do it and keep the AC (on a turbocharged car). Now if every turbo kit was identical or a kit was designed around the external oil pump requirement it could probably be done and the AC salvaged.

Will the FA20DIT intake manifold fit on the FA20? It has the air inlet on the back which may provide sufficient room for both the oil pump and AC. I highly doubt you haven't thought of this already, but I would be remiss if I didn't ask.
