I didnt use the RB racing pump. They are an oldschool kind of company, and probably more geared towards the walk-in crowd. I live over 5.000 miles away and their communication just wasnt great. So i went to Turbowerx and ordered their TWX300 pump. Its very quiet (even quieter than the smaller RB pump i had). Just like MA motorsports their communication was also spot on.
Wired everything up. I used a relay and the fuel pump ON signal to also turn on the scavenger pump. 500 miles without smoke so far.
You have to fiddle a bit with the power steering lines if you use the factory ones like me. Also the wheel well cover thing doesn't fit perfectly anymore because of the pump. Its fine for now but next winter ill probably relocate it to a better location.

Thanks for your kudos ...
The TWX300 pump is quieter because it is a diaphragm type. Although they are quieter they don't have as much pumping power.
RB pumps are driven by helical gears and are 'industrial strength'
Glad to hear that it is working for you.
The MA-M kit recommended mounting place does interfere with the inner wheel well liner. They removed it on my build to better accommodate the oversize I/C and charge pipes. Looks pretty 'race car like' with the charge pipes showing out a little from the Stillen front fascia.
One last note - if you don't drive the car for a week or so you will get some initial smoke on start up because the oil does drip into the turbo.
I clears up and not to worry.
