Figure I needed to do a followup on this situation.
So far the new pump has been working flawlessly. Chris Martinez at STS said the techs tested the pump and found the following:

Under the 8 volts load IE low speed the pump was under to much strain to
keep oil flowing fast enough, so the oil would back up and fill the turbo
center housing. Now it was only a matter of time before it died all the way.

Accordingly, the pump was to be covered under the warranty and I should get a refund of the money I had to pay up front for that pump.

For the record now almost two months after this statement was made, I STILL have not received that refund.
