what pump for JX?

Hi everybody!
I'm looking for suggestions on what injection pump to use with JX 1.6 turbo engine in my '82 westy. I'm running it now w/o turbo. It has a N/A pump that I sent to Giles for rebuild and hotrodding last year. It runs great but I want to put the turbo back on for a little more push. I don't have the original pump anymore as it was traded to Giles for some other work on a MTDI pump he did for me... separate project.
So is there a bolt on pump that's a good upgrade or should I just look for another original type? I've heard its possible to fit other turbo pumps under the engine cover if the pump is clocked a little and you jump a tooth on the timing belt. I just don't know what a good match would be.
Thanks, Josh
