which low pressure pump?

I am setting up a surge tank for my Sprinter and I have a VL pump to go from my surge tank to the engine, I am looking for a low pressure scavaging pump. I have seen ones for sale that have either an obscene amount of flow like 500hp pumps or ones that doent have enough. Does anyone know of a good pump thats available cheaply or though a wrecker? I prefer it to be rated above the VL one which apparently is 2.3L/ minute under pressure. Also I really dont want to run dual pumps, I want to avoid too much complexity under my car, as anyone who has worked on an 86 will know there isnt much room under there. But if I have to I will.
Any advice would be appreciated

Im using the Pierburg lift pump, does 3psi and 2.5L/min.
Pretty good pump.

if the VL one can suck enough, use another one for the lift pump 
with no presssure restriction, it will DEFINITELY flow more than the one filling your fuel rail, and then you won't have any concerns about relative flow.

thats a good point I guess theres no reason why I would need to use a high pressure pump.
Atleast they wouldnt be mismatched!
