Going to be looking at changing this soon and wondered if it was a ball ache.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

Disconnect the return pipe to the pump and run the engine with a bottle on the end of the pipe - this will empty the system. Then you can replace pump and refill it. I used Slick 50 steering fluid. It seems to have worked well for around 10k miles.
