The issue is that it cost as much as a stock Replacement Vacuum Pump and the Electric Vehicle sites say the pump us noisy.
The other new Vacuum pump alternataives mentioned at the Electric Vehicle sites are also expensive.

I bought a Thomas 12 Volt Vacuum Pump to try your idea but have never gotten around to it.

Anoter issue might be that the stock Alternator my not put out enough amps if all the electrical stuff in your car is runing.
I already have a Gast MOA V111-JH vac pump 12VDC @ 6.8 amps. It's a diaphram pump and not very loud. I am more concerned with the elimation or removal of the parts inside the mech vac pump that are potential engine killers. Do you have any info on that?
