Oil pan tap, dedicated oil pump, radiant heat roasting wires and shortening component life, cracked manifolds, higher initial expense, no good way to turbo and keep emissions cert (yes I'm aware of the one carb turbo kit but it's gimped). Not too attractive a trade off imo for the advantage of being able to limp home a trashed turbo.
