Default Where can I get a scavenge pump for a low mount turbo

Got a Huron Speed V2 kit with a Comp 7875 and like the title says the turbo is mounted low so oil drainage is an issue, its backing up and blowing by when making a hard stop or going down a steep hill. People have been recommending a 12V scavenge pump. Who's running one and where did you get it?

I have used shur-flo pumps in the last cheap and no issues for a couple rear turbo setups I have done. I really like the turbowerx pump just kinda pricy and also with any pump mixed reviews

Mine looks a bit different from this one, as in mine is missing the little hump in the plastic. Fraud maybe? Anyway mine was advertised as the base model. Here's the one I found.

What size line does it accomodate? The drain line size that came with my turbo (I believe) is 10, its pretty thick

-10 is fine. Just run it from the turbo to the pump....then to the oil pan. I mounted mine on the bottom of the radiator support.

Turbowerx do cheaper versions too.

The Exa is the one to get.

Not being a smart alec.....but what's the difference? I did get the base model as my turbo is front mount, maybe the really expensive model is for rear mount heavy duty pumping?

Exa flows more, I guess has better motor and gears etc.

If you wanted really cheap, there are $100 Chinese pumps on ebay that are similar in appearance to the more expensive pumps....what's the difference with them ?

I searched long and hard before buying a pump for mine....and I could find almost no bad reports about the Exa. I could about most other pumps.

2 years on and it's been faultless. A cheaper pump might have done the same...but I have no regrets buying what I did.

I have the Turbowerx as well. Started out with the base model but ended up going with the next one up, the EXA. I've driven around with it for the past couple of weekends and it works great.

Did you burn up the base pump?

Well, it seemed more like I got the one out of a thousand that goes bad(story of my life). It stopped working within 5 minutes of testing while the car was still on jackstands. The gents I bought it from wanted me to send it back to them so they could analyze it. Since I needed a pump badly, I went ahead and ordered the EXA the same day I shipped out the base model. They examined it and gave me a complete refund on the base model within days of receiving it. Pretty well satisfied on the customer service on that. The EXA has been working great.

It is quiet.

Small demo video I took ages ago. Heat gun at the start is just for a sound reference for the camera.
