Also - wow! the cost! 300+ bones for an oil cooler and nearly 70 for an air duct! But that all looks like a bargain when compared to a 600+ quid oil pump!

I guess it does make those pumps designed for racing turbos look cheap...

Those oil scavenge pumps were actually designed for turbos mounted in places where the oil drain back was not up to spec. Also when adding turbos in applications where there were non in the first place. Like this example... APS Intercooled Twin Turbo Pontiac G8/Holden Commodore.

Those turbos would not drain back into the oil sump well if at all and need a scavenge pump to keep oil from getting into the air intake.
