Although I'm a front-mount, I tried purchasing a scavenger pump from STS. They wouldn't sell it to me seperately. Then, my installer found one from a trucking company (?). The brand is High Flow (not related to the LS1tech sponsor). It's noisy as ****, but it does the job. Try calling STS and see what they tell you? You never know. I think all turbo set-ups should run a pump... Not a puff of smoke from my car, not even at WOT.

If the rubber grommets are used, it is fairly quiet...It is still a vane pump...Not really all that fond of them but for the short trips the pump has on it, it is still alive...
