What are the two air filters behind the passenger rear axle?

I’m actually using one of the two tanks there, it receives the oil after its pumped through the turbos. After passing through the turbos the oil is aerated so it settles in that tank before being pumped back into the engine via a scavenger pump. There’s two tanks because I got it off eBay(old NASCAR part) and it came with two welded together. I’ve bought a lot of eBay nascar parts, they’re well made and cheap. Not always great looking though. I have a similar tank on the engine that replaced the air oil separator.

That's really interesting, I had never thought to look for used nascar equipment.

What's the purpose of the aeration? Faster cooling?

The aeration isn’t by design, it’s due to oil basing through the fast moving turbos. It’s a bad thing

Oh got it, I read your post incorrectly. I didn't think aeration was a good thing but I didn't want to question lol. Keep us posted!

Btw, did you find a wire to use for your turbo oil pump? Or are you gonna use an aftermarket timer.
