I did this to a couple of turbo projects and all is very well and never seen any high temp issues.

This sounds like a good idea: best practice.
Would be handy to see some photos of how people routed them? Also would appreciate any links to pumps used etc.
Can the pumps be wired to turn on, with the ignition? Does it matter that they might be partially dry to start with?
With a pump, does that mean the drain/sump tank, is not needed?
