Atleast you werent in the middle of a pull or race when it went! What are you doing with your other wheels?
Sold the rear rims already and the same guy is going to buy the front rims when I order the front RTS's

So is the motor completely toast? I would really like to know please cause thats crazy. What kinda oil pump was that?
No I'm pretty sure everything is fine because I shut it off instantly! It was a ford 4v high volume pump

well im not sure, it's been on the car for over 50k miles and one week after putting the turbo on the car it broke? id blame it on the power
How large is the fitting on the oil discharge from the turbo?
I only ask because a guy on a local forum had an issue with the turbo oil drain not moving enough oil. I'd think this problem would be even worse with a high volume pump. Check out this thread. He ended up changing the drain fitting to -12 (3/4") and his issue was resolved. Might be worth looking into, to avoid a similar problem on your car. Here is a link to the thread in question:

I honestly think the underdrive crank pulley cause the oil pump to break. There are people with 4V and 2V cars running 700-800 HP on stock oil pumps with no problem. From all the engine builders I have talked to and research i have done, the underdrive pulley creates alot of stress on the oil pump causing gears to break. The only real crank pulley I have seen not break oil pumps is the Innovative West Pulleys.
My guess its the crank pulley because usually a Supercharger running off the crank pulley will put more stress on the Oil Pump than the turbo.

mod motors are internally balance, So no, it was not the crank pulley... The biggest cause of failure for oil pumps is debris, I know that was the issue with my pump. You should check your bearings and make sure you did not hurt any of them.
Buddy of mine made 700hp on a stock pump turbo car with AN-10 drain with no issues, I was running an AN-10 as well and my stock pump failed.
