Does dropping an oil pump gear on the ground and breaking it prove you need to upgrade ? Has anyone slammed an upgraded oil pump gear on the ground to prove it can take it?
. Heres a picture of factory OPG. I dropped this gear from waiste height and it broke.

Gen3 tg and opg failures seem exceedingly rare. I’ve known more people who have broken pistons in na motors than who’ve broken tg/opg in boosted motors. If peace of mind is the goal, clearly we must replace the stock pistons too.

and I’m not a metallurgist, but dropping something on concrete that is designed to go round and round is not exactly a useful test…

…kinda like pushing a Mustang off a moving train and declaring how useless the tires were in keeping it upright šŸ˜‰
