how to prevent oil pump failure?
Good evening, I am rebuilding my na 1.6 turbo and I was wondering if it is possible to modify the oil pump system to avoid failures, I have looked for information and I know that the problem that leads to failure has to do with the valve, but I do not find any video or post that explains exactly how to prevent it

I have reasons to use a b6, logically a BP is better but my engine has only 50,000 miles, it has a b660 cylinder head and it has been well cared for so I risk buying an engine that I do not know its condition, here in Spain they are scarce ,they are expensive and most come from the UK apart from that the b6 turbo also work well

Fair enough: at least you have a decent reason. The issue with broken oil pumps usually has everything to do with the fact that they are cast, brittle, and the B6 and BP vibrate harder than a vibrator. So really, billet gears and possibly a proper crank damper is the solution. I have yet to see tons of issues stemming from the valve.

The boundary gears were created over a decade ago to be the cheaper choice then the ATI damper. Both strive to solve the same problem. Start with the gears, and add the ATI later if you feel you really need it, which I doubt you will.
