NA oil pump vs Turbo oil pump

Just wondering if some one could fill me in on any physical differences between the NA oil and the tii oil pump, I'm about to finish building my 6 port turbo how ever I read a while back that the tii oil pump does indeed flow more. I have several oil pumps, just can't tell which is NA and which is turbo. Any input is appreciated

The turbo oil pump has wider gears and is a much higher volume pump

...Which makes the N/A pump better, since that means it cavitates less, which means it flows MORE oil when it counts.

I get 90psi oil pressure by 4000rpm and it does not fall off all the way up to and past 10k.

Oh, wait, I'm not using a FC N/A oil pump, I'm using a 12A oil pump... even smaller!

Funny how the pumps kept getting bigger but the oil inlet didn't change.

Alright peejay, you got me all confused now, I figured the oil pump that flows the most would be best suited for a turbo application , can a seasoned veteran please shed some light on this?

Do you happen to know a way I can distinguish an NA from a turbo oil pump? Any markings or dead give aways?

flip the oil pump rotor/stator out into your hand.. the bit that falls out with the dot marking

it is physically wider ( taller ) than the NA pump
