    Just get a normally open 1psi hobbs pressure switch and tire your alarm or LED into it. Put the pressure switch on the inlet side of the pump so if a build up of oil pressure occurs, it will close that pressure switch and trigger your alarm, or LED. The way a scavenge pump is supposed to work with a rear mounted turbo is that the scavenge pump is supposed to always be pulling the oil from the turbo's oil drain - no pressure in that line, just vacuum. And I don't blame you for not wanting to talk to STS. Those guys are idiots and I can't stand them
