The factory wrx oil pump is a scavenge pump for the OEM turbo.
One of the aftermarket turbo kits for the brz comes with the wrx pump.
I also used a electric fuel pump for oil scavenging on my gsxr1000 turbo I built. Had to build a oil box below the turbo and run a breather to it. Without the breather the turbo would stop spinning at idle with the pump running. I figured it was sucking the turbo bearings dry which caused it to stop spinning.

Right, but how much is involved in actually setting this up? I've never seen how it gets set up.
How much oil volume was going to that turbo? Was it oil cooled only? Mine didn't seem to have an issue due to the pressure from the pump, it spun just fine
