Hi all,
I am currently in the process of setting up a dry sump on a 4agte and have a couple queries regarding the feed line for the turbo and the gutting of the oil pump.
I've stripped apart a spare pump I had lying around and my question is, do I have to block/weld the original sump pickup as shown here? Technically it will no longer suck up any oil due to the lack of gears but I'd like to know for sure.

And does the oil out passage also need to be blocked off? Again, there shouldn't be any oil circulating at this part but I'm not sure if this connects to other oil passages that would be pressurised by the filter plate on the side of the block. Should I just be blocking it off at the other end (the hole at the far rhs of the pic) so the oil does not reach the bypass valve?

There is also a relief valve with a circlip and spring. Does this need to be removed?

And lastly, I currently have my oil feed for the turbo where the original oil pressure sensor would go. It is the port located on the exhaust side just near the coolant drain for the block. I have a suspicion that it is fed from the oil pump out passage before it gets to the oil filter plate. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Regards,
Eddie.
