Does anyone have a good idea that will help warn when the scavenge pump on twin turbos fail before it hurts anything else? I was thinking about the possibility of a oil pressure gauge. I would love to hear your ideas.

We can do a flow based switch to kill ignition if the pump fails.. However, with our kits, the pump we use is HIGHLY unlikely to fail. To date, we have not seen a single failure. That's going on 4 years and dozens upon dozens of pumps.

I like the idea of a flow based switch. I was thinking a gauge of some sort so you would notice it it started to fail. I am leaning towards your twin kit which will be my first experience with turbos. I like the idea of easily being able to turn boost up and down.
