That looks like the elec inline pump the VR6 and combi uses , they can be found at GW for around R1450-00 for the Bosch there is a cheaper one @ around R870-00

I got the one from GW Bosch for the Kombi's, could'nt pump :bn: ,
had to prime it and it would'nt pump back to the reservoir inlet which were +/- 500mm higher than the pump, had it set up like this:

Reservoir > chargecooler inlet > radiator > Pump at lowest point > back to reservoir inlet,

I'm just wondering about flowing through two chargecoolers and radiators with one pump?

Nice looking project I have always dreamed about two turbos. I used a "Deck plate" for my tank cover they come in nice big sizes 6" & 9" with proper seals, haven't had any issues with it so far.

That sounds more like it, I think the aux pumps you get from GW normally kicks in when the engine is shut down and will circulate water with the fan on more or less in a horizontally layout which does not require massive flow for a few minutes and then shut off when cooler.The guys with the Kombi's might know better of this fact?

May I ask please sir what the cost of said beasty might be? or even maybe 2nd hand?
