This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears.
The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back.
I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder.
Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
