No you can run the drains(return) into the original drain with a set of compounds not twins.The hot oil won't care once it goes down the return.

Correct, with COMPOUNDS..... you can run both returns to the same port in your block. I suggest you do it as close to the block as possible.

That is true, any two turbos could utilize the same drain. Even sequential turbos.

If not, you would only end up with excess oil in your turbos, only a real problem I guess in a ball bearing turbo, being that more oil = more drag = slow spool = less boost???
