Hpfp upgrade

So its a proven entity in the harshest condition for an engine and i guess you pay for that reassurance on quality and performance.
The Autotech internals havent had any of that, and overtime have proven to fail on many cars after 30-60k.

Sorry Sy but that last statement is a little OTT. True, there have been SOME failures, but to say many cars is misleading. There are MANY people running Autotech including myself and are very happy with them.
Regarding the Loba HPFP. I have been lucky enough to see a few already and they are worth the money and if I was a gambling man I'd put my money on the specs of the Loba being higher than the APR offering and being able to flow more if the lpfp side can supply it with fuel.
I'm also lucky enough to see the specs of most of the Loba stuff and know some of the companies background and wouldn't hesitate on using any of their products when the time is right. :smiley:
£500 for the Loba pump is a bargain compared with the APR pump. If I needed to swap I'd definitely be knocking down Loba's door for one.
:smiley:

A little OTT I guess. I also ran the autotech internals on mine with no issues, but I wouldn't do it again.
I see where the guys are coming from though. One company says their pump does x,y&z and is happy to publish test results and construction details. Another says the same but doesnt post any results or details other than it does work.
I see no reason why these details couldn't be posted, its not as if its going to be copied, APR have had those details available for years without anyone copying them!! And I highly doubt APR would copy it when their pump can already flow enough for stage 4 power levels with headroom

Its not like someone could buy a Loba or APR pump, strip it apart and copy it? Could they? :P
