Has anyone been inside the vacum pump fitted to alternators? Is it very robust, I'm thinking of using it to oil scavenge a rear mount turbo set up. Thanks!

Not been inside one but if they are sliding vane pumps (which a lot of low cost vac pumps are) then they will not be suitable for liquid as they change volume and liquids don't compress too well!
A gear pump is what's required.
