Considering all the stuff in a turbo engine that *relies* on constant and reliable oil pressure, I would shy away from any turbo engine that has any oil related problems... Clearly the car was driven or used to some extent to get the pump into the condition it's currently in, and probably during that time it wasn't doing a proper job of circulating oil... -Justin
