Oil metering pump block off kit & relocation bracket

Hey guys,

So I'm still kinda new here and I'm aware of the ongoing oil debacle regarding anything concerning oil in our cars. From pre-mixing to synthetic the weight, etc......etc.. But this is a first I have come accros this statement. Regardless of views on the oil topic I find it hard to believe anyone would relocate and eliminate there OMP and our condo this type of modification regardless of pre-mixing or not. I have tried contacting he manufacture and haven't received anything back in over a week, nor did I find anything on this thread.

For experienced individuals on here you all will remember this from the turblown kits, which I have read up on some installs on here but it seems those people never keept either there cars of the kits long after instal, could no OMP have something to do with that, I was thinking so. So if anyone has any threads with more literature on this topic or thoughts I'd appreciate it.

Kind of a bummer this kit stood out as an almost turn key, until you read this little tid bit about no OMP, pre-mix only. To me pre-mixing by itself just doesn't seem to be enough.

Removing the OMP is not good... Engines that didn't use it and relied exclusively on premix show chatter signs on the housings. No bueno.
