Similar to this one: http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/pump-tech-c.htm

Most diesels are engine driven. Some mechanical, some belt driven. The early Granada with the peugeot engine ( P505 etc ) had a belt driven pump. A lot of sierras and granadas ( incl cosworth ) used an electric pump for power assisting brakes, and any cars I ahve drove with it, the brakes felt excellent, although it would I think it would take too much room in a subaru, extending quite far out from the bulkhead.
Some diesels ( Japs are common ) also have the vacuum pump built onto the rear of the alternator. Isuzus usually have this ( as fitted to some Vauxhalls, and Isuzu's obviously ) If you have about 40-50mm behind the alternator that is.
Check out pneumatic control systems suppliers for pumps.
Also, after doing a quick search....no idea of cost though.

Also may be worth looking at some cars that have cruise control.. I think it is sometimes vacuum operated, and not sure that it could always rely on engine vacuum to operate.

I've got one on my RA and would be very happy to supply pics if anyone is interested. Believe they can still be sourced although mine took a little while to arrive. Cost 18 months ago was £250 + VAT from memory - but it fits perfectly, like it was made for the job, which it wasn't, but works brilliantly. Apparently it is actually a compressor wired or plumbed in reverse!
