is upgraded oil pump gear a must on turbo vehicle?i'm thinking about buying a itr oil pump well that be o.k. or should i buy a prodrive?tryed search did not find anything

 

help needed

 

i have been told the sintered metal stock oil pump gears dont hold up. i havent seen one fail yet, but if you are racing the car constantly, i think it would be a good upgrade. i have also heard that if you run an underdrive crank pulley, there is no harmonic dampening and that will cause it to fail. if anyone has more input, let me know as well. i am a little too far into mine to turn back now but would like to know.

 

thanks for reply more info needed

Seems like the stock ones last as long as the good ones. If there is a problem, either one will break equally as quick.
