it looks like a campus pump.

Are you sure? It looks a bit like a TL one to me.

it also looks like the strainer is at 90° to the shaft, like a mk1 TL or gordini or turbo 2 one, the GTT one is reclined.

TL is different to the gordini/turbo2. the gordini/Turbo2 one is the same as the gt turbo one but has a shallower strainer area, for the reduced sump height.

i think the campus and the TL ones have the vertical pressure relief valve. id imagine the TL is shallower than the campus, due to the sump difference....

Yeah I know about the sump height issue, I tried to use a gordini oil pump on a C1J once, it didn't fit in the sump. I had to put the GT pickup on, the pump body itself was the same as you say.

But, GT is definately reclined so that the pick-up is parrallel with the ground in the transverse engine. Inline engines like the gordini has the pickup at 90° to the shaft. I see what your saying though, the pump body itself looks different, like an NA pump.

not saying its not a tl/campus one, but if cgb have listed it as a gtt one, would it be a gtt one? or maybe cgb mistaken it for a gtt one:scratch:

Years ago tuners use to sell the campus pump as a gtt replacement because the original is so expensive, may be the same case here.

Trouble being and I can say this as someone who has exprience of this, CAMPUS PUMPS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR GTT PUMPS AS THEY DO NOT PRODUCE THE HIGHER PRESSURE NEEDED
