MP Brakes makes a nice one...if you do get a pump, make sure you use a reservoir tank..this will keep the pump from cycling so much...and install a master switch with a relay to the pump..

I have a blower and I only pull 12 inches of vacuum...need at least 21 or better...the pump that I have is a GM unit that was used for various things like air shocks and for brakes..my power brake system is great with this pump..can put you thru the windshield...LOL


I looked thru MP Brakes and it seems they dont have it anymore..so..here's links to systems..

been running run for about 5 years on my Satellite,only pulls 4-5" at idle.Had to rebrush the pump motor once.I had a pressure switch to cycle it on and off,though i now just run it all the time as the pressure switch crapped out.no worries on my daily driver
