Defective N1 oil pump

Hey guys 3 months ago my motor crapped out on my way back from a show. The thrust bearings were shot and the crank slapped the block, blew the clutch, and scared the main bearings among a few other things. when I put the turbo setup in the car I knew the stock oil pump is the weak point of the motor so I put in the N1 pump, I dont need the $1000 Tomei pump for the numbers Im putting out so I figured the N1 would be just fine. Yesterday the motor was finally done and the car was ready to go. As I pulled up my tuner did not have a happy look on his face. he said they were tuning it all day and they took it out just before I got there and they were sitting at a light and the oil light came on. When the motor died 3 months before yesterday when I was at idle the light was on aswell so this wasnt a good sign. I know Nissan put out a defective batch of pumps and I fear I got one of them. Hes picking up the car today and switching out the oil pump to see if it solves the problem.
What do you guys think about all this? I hope the only problem is the pump and it didnt do any damage again.
Thanks
Jay
