Why not just use a pressure fed oiler for the turbo bearing?

I got the timer today and put it in after work. Pretty simple really. One B+ constant wire, one key on, one acc, a ground and another e-brake ground. I had to drop the column to splice into the constant (red) and acc. (pink) wires. Hooked up the ground to one of the cluster bolts, and ran the e-brake safety ground wire to the e-brake switch.

It called to run one wire to hot-in-run, and one to acc. I didnt see a need for this and ran them both of them to the pink HIR wire. Everything works great, and this was a $25 cheap-o eBay timer. Also has a warm-up timer which is nice for the winter.
