Yes you want/need a vacuum pump for methanol for the obvious ring seal issues but to also pull moisture from the crankcase. You should have an oil heater also or at least bring it up to temp on gas then swap to methanol.

The only other thing I came up with was the pump not being able to keep up the crankcase pressure and possibly causing the engine to load up with pressure at high boost and need some type of bov for the valve cover with a check valve and another breather for safety ? Does that sound right?and what does it look like if so?
