Not sure of anyone else that does the high flow work though. Can't say I've looked into finding anyone else though...Also, you might as well pull the engine out to replace the oil pump, its probably possible with the engine still in the car, but it would be a PITA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the gears in but the housing wasnt ported and let go mid powerskid, I needed a new crank, a few rods and bearings. I got the gears for about 500 and the ported housing from atomic for about 250 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Brads prices have gone up a little, but the whole pre-prepped pump is a good thingat what sort of power level is the stock pump letting go? I know they are an issue on the Boss but havent heard much about them on the I6TsThere really isn't a specific power level mate, its more to do with the RPM and loads on the gears. Most example I have seen are going at mid- 300's and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the instant load when you drop the clutch at high rpms, if the oil isn't up to temp it will but huge stress on the pump and the gears...
