That is why I imagine it would be better then just a GT500 pump with billet gears .... But then again it is a FRPP piece so the price is a bit high.
How much is tbe weight of the pre 13 gears?
perhaps someone has already answered this question and I just overlooked it...
is there any reason this pump won't support VCT on a 4.6L 3V?
I'm very curious if it is in fact the pump getting twisted up that's breaking gears.
That's exactly what I ended up doing, just transferred my TSS gears over to this pump and housing, I kept the 2013 spring as well, should be the same as the pre-2013 pumps.
Did you compare the springs for the gt500 untis? From what I saw its higher pressure for 13. Not that you have to worry about oil pressure in the turbo anymore. But if I had to do it over again from the get go I would be using a 3v spring. All three of these pumps are the same high volume as the gear width and size is the same. I'ts just that they have different pressure settings via the spring. IIRC the 3v is 70psi, older gt500 is 80 psi and 13 is 90psi. Of course the springs arent an exact number and based on load and rpm you can easily see mopre pressure before the srping can relieve and bring it back down.
