    Oil pump life span

    I'm going to be rebuilding my AAN very soon and would like to know how good the oil pumps are on these cars? Should it be replaced just to replace it (pricey if not really needed) or are they bullet proof like a 944 oil pump? Thanks.
    currently: 1987 944 NA 5spd, 250 lb hyper coils, 27 mm t bars, Koni, 968 m030 bars, full delrin, Audi I5 20VT, VEMS, Tilton, EFI Express, Seimens, Race Technologies

    You can measure what wear it has had if you take it apart and then check in the manual if its still with in spec you can just rebuild it and reuse it. My 130k pump was still fine.
