i think some r32 pumps will require the collar though the r32 pumps are also known to fail. unless you need the extra flow why not just shim the relief valve on your turbo pump?

it will fit on and the crank will drive the pump but the contact area is the problem. you will find the crank only has about 1 or 2mm contact with the pump drive gear. at any decent rpm you know the pump gear will chew out leaving you high and dry,of oil lol. rb25 pumps dont have the same problem on rb30 cranks

Nope dont change it. Your std pump if in good nick will be fine! The GTR pumps have a tendancy to fail!
