3rd oil return pump, now going onto fourth.. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ABMLS3 · 11-22-2014, 11:19 AM

I have the IPS twin turbo kit and so far i've gone through three oil return pumps(going on four) since i've had the kit which hasn't even been a year..
every time its the same thing, the pump will randomly stop working and the only way it'll turn on is if I get under the car a tap the pump.
IPS never seems to believe me and tells me it's the wiring or something isn't set up right.
so I made a video of the pump out of my car to show that it's the pump not the wiring or anything else.
This time i'm just gonna have to spend the extra money and buy a different company pump
I heard turbowerx is the best one out there? any suggestions?

Had my AGP setup over a year. Apparently, those pumps they use work fine. Contact AGP and get 'er done with. Sorry to hear your issue.

BTW, thought AGP uses Porsche OEM pumps. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Turbo werx are good, but you can kill those too, or any pump if the setup isn't correct.

How is it mounted? Lines correct size? Wiring correct? Running a timer on it?

I would call AGP and order their complete setup because it flat out works. Nice mount with isolators, oil filter, nice lines, timer for pump, wiring harness, etc. There is a lot more to a turbo kit that just mounting some turbos.

Funny you say that, good friend of mine on the west coast is dealing with a smoking agp kit. Ago just keeps sending different "fixes".

I sucked some ball bearings into my turbowerx pump from an exploded turbo... Cleaned the bearings out, checked everything out, and it's still running to this day... I'll never run any other pump on my system...

I actually blew up two turbos that weekend, the original and the replacement turbo that we had overnighted...

Turbowerx never missed a beat...
