Question Oil Scavenge Pump ... Anyone Tried This One

Looking over the various options for remote mount return oil pumps. It "seems" that there isn't a definitive choice for longevity (about 15K seems to be the average life span). I found this one





Now I'm curious to know if anyone has been there - done that with it???
I've found it a few other places for about $125 shipped ... but ... before I spent the coin (I can get a Shurflo for $85 at Northern and it's known to work just fine) I thought I'd post the question.
TIA

Id take gear of diaphragm any day of the week.

I know the ShurFlo is said to work, hell i used it. But gear driven pumps are the way to go, IMO, TurboWerx exa, the sts pump, which is what your Picture appears to be of, etc.

Just my .02 though

looks like a RBracing scavenger pump. I run one on my car and so does Fireball. Works excellent.

did you determine your problem? Too much scavenge? not enough?

Do you run a tank the oil drains to before scavenging to motor, or are you pulling directly from turbo to pan?
