As soon as you have oil pressure you have flow. I would not plumb it before a turbo. They work fine with a turbo as I have one on my turbo diesel plumbed with returning clean oil to the pan as the diagram shows. It should never be plumbed so that a pressure lubed part is dependent on oil flow from the filter, it's not designed to be used this way.
The TP is inside of a canister with a metal tube in the center of the roll. It's sandwiched between the two metal surfaces so it absolutely cannot move.
The oil goes up the center tube and is forced endways down through the roll of paper. There is a fine screen at the bottom and the hydraulic action forces the paper down to the screen. There is no way any paper can leave the canister. It's the single most repeated myth about Frantz or any TP style filter is that the paper shreds and plugs up oil galleys.
It's 100% MYTH there is no way the paper can leave the canister. When you remove a filter the paper is visibly compacted from the oil forcing it down.
One other thing is oil does not make TP shred, (it is designed to shred in moving water when unrolled). Even if you drop a roll of TP in a bucket of water it won't shred. It doesn't shred unless it's in single sheets unrolled in water being agitated.
If you like to see what your engine health is, all the large particulate lays right on the top of the roll when it's removed. You have it visible as soon as you remove the roll from the canister, no cutting open filters to look at it.
