Double exit (180 degrees apart) from the pump volute should eliminate
the radial and balance the axial loads on the pump side too, I would
think. FEA could confirm, but that's not in my wheelhouse...

As far as I'm aware, the right thing to do is either do some careful

any from your turbine?),
Do a double sided turbine wheel ( and housing.)
should balance all axial loads and removes the issue
of backflow on the flat side.
