either buy a seal kit and DIY or send it out to get rebuilt. i think you can get them rebuilt for about 600 CAD and a performance one for $1000. Or buy another one a just do a swap

If you do a search there is piles of info regarding that. $200 for a rebuilt pump is a good price. You could run the NA pump as is. If you want to test out what that would be like before buying it just remove the hose that goes between the pump and the intake manifold. It will be a bit better with the new pump of course. This is how I drive my car
