excuse my newbieness, but if you have a large enough diameter oil return line (and have it installed properly) why would you need a pump? like any "do dad" or "gizmo" its just as subject to failure...then you have a cooked turbo anyways. I guess I don't see its advantage. plus why wouldn't it pull oil from the turbo seeing as it would be incorporated into a closed loop system. if you vent it as your saying your still just having the turbo drain by gravity. I guess if you want to drain your oil uphill from your turbo its handy, but not seeing it for the standard setup you see on our motor.
I say keep it simple. gravity hasn't changed since the big bang doubt it'll fail any time soon.
