Talking about lubing a ball bearing turbo in a dragon.
No battery, large horizontal Boondocker air to air with the fan that draws about 4-5 amps.
koso heated afr, headlight delete.

I have seen posts about pumps like these. two posts Said they work.
One guy on a ski doo said it wouldn't pump worth crap
Was this a long term reliable solution?
with a manageable power draw?

I bought the posi-flow one for my dragon from Napa. Seems to work fine.

I didn't pressure gauge it. But blocking the flow with my thumb I could make the pump labor. But the amps only climbed to 1.85.
Weather the line was flowing through the turbo or back into a container. Didn't change the draw at all.

I talked to both boost-it and TSS at the Vernon Snowmobile show, and they both run Posi-flow on their kits.

So how are they garbage, what was the problem with them? Is it the heat from the oil that make them fail?

You could always use a small mikuni fuel pump $15. If you could get a pulse line off the bottom end you could flow oil for free, no power draw. This http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/331702062475?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82 pump will make make 15lbs of oil pressure at 10 lbs of boost. So you will need a 0.035 thou oil restrictor in line. I just put a 27-30 mikuni pilot jet in the oil line as a restrictor. Cheap and reliable option for you.

I thought about the vaccum pump. a really smart friend of mine was doubtful it would pump oil.
has this been successful?

My original boondocker micro pump was fine it was the electronic box that went down. Anyways I found the ones that boondocker uses in their kits. I never asked about prices for the pump itself, but the electric control box was $45, so ill probably ordered one for a back up.
