Which turbo drain scavenge pump?
Which turbo drain scavenge pump? Hey guys I building a front mount turbo setup for my 97 Z28 and the turbo sits low enough that gravity draining is questionable and I'll have to incorporate a turbo drain scavenge pump. I've been looking at videos and reviews of the pumps and I'd like to get some real world opinions from you guys on which one is better for a mostly street driven car the gear style (turobwerks exa - very noisy) or the turbowerks vane style pump (very quiet).
My main criteria are performance, actually working ie: oil draining sufficiently so oil is moving, longevity, reliability and noise levels (sometimes drive on long roadtrips).

I tried both the low level Turbowerks base model (least expensive) and the next level up. I can hear the pump running, barely, when the key is on/engine off, but not beyond that.

I ran it (Exa) all last year and it never gave me a problem.
