Broken Air Pump

I've got a broken air pump in my FD and I was wondering if anybody other than Mazda sells them. I ask because when I called my local Mazda dealer they wanted $1275.41 for a little piece of crap air pump. Normally I would just run my car without it but I need to have the car smogged so it can be registered. Or if somebody can rebuild it that would be great. I would try to do this myself but I haven't found any replacement parts for it and as far I know, Mazda only sells it as a unit and doesn't offer replacment parts. Any help would be great so please give me any info you can on this. Thanks a lot.

Local dealer quoted $1000.00 for it. Damn thing is half the price of a reman. Unf*cking believable. I had it replaced under warranty plus I bought a really low miles one for the future.

Alternative is to run GM electric airpump from a Camaro or Corvette but they do not last long due to the constant on cycle when below 3000 rpm.

yes, but you will not pass emissions. Please search for air pump info as this has been discused in great detail. If you need one, just buy a used one... there are plenty of them around .
