A question for the m30 pros out there... I'm tapping the oil filter housing of my M30 e32 to feed oil to the turbo. Has anyone done this or know if there there is adequate oil pressure in the small cavity to feed the turbo?

There is is a hole that leads into the engine block from this cavity, but it is completely cut off from the rest of the filter housing. What would happen if I drilled a hole in the wall that separates the cavities? The e28 m30 and e23 m106 (turbo m30) filter housings did not have two cavities.





Thanks!
