Silber turbo Oil pump question

[tratch2]

Hello, i have a 2009 Iqr with a 2012 cfi 800 engine swapped into it. This past spring I bought a 2013 silber turbo kit and fabbed it into my sled. The kit has the oilpump/ tank, but im not sure which pump it is. Im told one pump is poor quality and can fail and the other is a better quality (wahl pump i think) . Is this true? Should i worry or is either pump fine?

Thanks

The Walbro pumps have been the most dependable.

Thanks Boston, is there a canadian supplier for that pump? I imagine its just an automotive fuel pump correct? Would you happen to know the model/part number for it? Thank you

you might look into doing the oil injector lube kit its very clean and you don't have to worry about pumps and oil spilling plus saves weight

2 beer job for the oil injection conversion. Frees up a ton of
Space and weight. Just hope it's reliable!!?

Thanks for the info guys, the turbo i have is a journal bearing turbo and it only has 200 miles on it so i cant go oilless yet. I also run into the problem of the kpa external wastegate not fittin into my sled because it will hit the side panels......i should have started with the kpa turbo but the deal on the journal 2013 turbo was a great deal. Ill try find out what walhbro pump i need and swap it in and hope for the best!!!

i thought it might be a journal bearing style in that case find a new walbro and that should do it

I have another customer with one if anybody else is still looking. They came off kits when they converted to the oil deletes.
