Baja turbo power steering pump

[gurucrunch]

I've been looking around to no avail. My power steering pump is going out on my 2006 Baja turbo and the part has been discontinued according the subaru parts and this particular pump is apparently only used on the turbo Baja models according to them so no interchange with other models. None of the aftermarket replacements look to be the same geometry and I'm kinda stuck. I'm hoping somebody knows of other models that actually used this pump so I can get to the junkyard or some kind of work around. I bought this thing about a year ago and with having to replace the timing belt and associated and now this I have barely been able to drive it. Any help would be appreciated.

is it leaking? or making alot of noise?  the seals and bearing are replaceable, fairly easy to fix if that's all it is.

Swap the lines, pump, bracket and reservoir out from another model. 

If there’s a sensor in the pump, get a pump that has a fitting for, or a sensor fitted. Swap them out and off you go. 

Subarus are Lego. You might not be able to replace just the pump with another, but with the other bits the replacement pump uses from factory, it’ll fit up no worries (unless Subaru did something funky with the Steering rack fittings).

I've put clamps on the end of the hose, to stop the air from getting sucked in.

RockAuto has one listing for a reman power steering pump for the turbo model.

it would be very helpful to know exactly what is going on with the pump - that way appropriate detailed advice can be given.
