Default oil accumulator
Anyone running an oil accumulator? How did you plumb it in and did you find a good location under the hood to fit it?

Yes, hooked fed from the oil pressure port above the oil filter but mine only oils the turbos after shutdown so the checkvalve is between the block and the accumulator. Mine is sitting on top o the radiator for now. It's a 3qt one and yes it's pretty large.
