Oh BTW, the second oil pump is most likely an electric scavenging pump to
used to return the oil from the turbo back to the crankcase.
Nothing to do with higher performance, just necessary to return the oil with
turbo mounted so low.

Anyone seen the above?  It allegedly produces 105Kw, or 140hp, has "cosworth
drop-forged pistons" and "dual oil pumps".  Hmmmm... 50% bump for turbos is
fairly standard, no?
