The extra scavenge pumps and N.W. passage certainly seem desirable and rather inexpensive to have made a standard feature.I understand why it would be expensive as a Dealer installed retrofit/option.
But for the P.O.'s question it does hint at an (unlikely?) cause
The X51 "kit" is a $15K item just for the parts, and includes new cylinder heads, making it a very expensive add on as it requires dropping the engine and a PIWIS.

As mentioned above, I would look at the existing scavenging pumps before getting exotic.
