Hey guys we just got the turbo mounted and I was wondering what oil pumps you guys with low mounted forward facing turbos run. I will be driving this car on the street a lot, and is that going to be an issue on pump life?

Here is a pic, I don't think I can get away with a gravity drain.

we used a weldon on our tt drag radial car.

 

Cool. You wouldn't happen to have a part number would you? Would it last for continuous street driving?

 

Whoa! I went to weldon's site and they cost anywhere from $550-$900!
Which one would I need? Are there any as reliable for a little cheaper?

 

I know people running that cheap Holley Black pump with no issues.

 

Ive seen a lot of people use a Tilton Differential pump.
Dont think its as much as the weldon pump.

 

Put the turbo up higher.

 

Unfortunately the turbo can not be mounted up higher due to how we want the piping configured and where the giant hole in the bumper is going to be.

Here is the tilton one from summit-$175 is more like it!

Has anyone had any personal experience with these pumps on the street?

 

yeah the weldon is expensive but i dont know that i would want to go cheap on something like that. is it worth smokin a turbo?? i have heard of a bunch of ppl running the diff pumps with out any issues.

 

8000 series shurflow pumps

 

I agree 100% with you. I just figured there had to be something out there that was a little less than $600.
