Hpfp upgrade
h4rdy:
Like I said, Loba always reply promptly to any questions and usually answer every one of them.
I'll hopefully be buying something off them this year and I may even change my pump to the Loba one if a little more info can be squeezed.
Great thread though guys.

I must say that APR support sucks. Im two times write them email and never receive any response. When Im contact one of their dealer(Tom from APTuning) on other forum Im imediately receive response but he can't answer me on my questions and redirect me directly to APR(Where I didn't get answers)... This has been main reason why I didn't buy APR downpipe and Im buy B&B downpipe(Which is same), why didn't buy APR HPFP and Im take Autotech internals+new OEM HPFP and why I didn't make APR ECU&DSG Stage 2+ remap and I will go REVO ECU&DSG Stage2+ remap...
For me is customer support main thing and APR's one is very bad...

Last year I needed an aftermarket HPFP to cure my relatively minor fuelling issues so I took JKM's advice and steered clear of the Autotech internals and bought an APR. There wasn't a Loba choice at the time but as they are so reluctant to say how their pump is different or supposedly the best, I would only have bought a Loba if JKM had advised me to - JKM would have told me why the Loba was better in their opinion - That's if they had the opportunity to form an opinion but Loba's lips are sealed!

In which case every pump doesn't get tested
60,000 pumps taking 45 minutes per pump is 45,000 hours and the average American doing 40 hours per week with 4 weeks leave that's 25 guys in a room assembling pumps all day......that's with no lunch...

I see where you are coming from but I dont see where APR have said that they have recovered costs on this $3mil test rig, so assuming they have and stating that would require 60,000 pumps is irrelevant.
They might well have only sold 10,000 pumps, 5000 pumps or even 1000 pumps who knows which renders that theory null and void. Theres alot of assumptions being made there, they might not even be close to recovering that cost, plus if they are only selling minor quantities then testing of each could be possible, but i dont know, thats just an assumption as well :laugh:

I'm sorry but your really starting to get on my tits!
Why would a company who have a product, thought about it them selfs (in terms of the bits they wanted to add or upgrade), done research built the thing etc then come on here and reply to your question of how its different to exact detail spec and items upgraded and replaced.... ?
You seriously have no business brain.
Apr are flavour of the month this time next year someone else will be flavour.
I'm not a huge purchaser of LOBA items i have recently bought the clutch and flywheel and the delivery, service and after care has been amazing, emails are replied to within mins at all times of the day from Simon, my next purchase from them will be a pump based purely on the service and the quality of the items i have previously bought not because everyone "Says" they are amazing.
