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.
