Small update. I bought some VIS motorsport hpfp internals to swop out with my autotech pump. I had a spare pump off the CDL I bought so I cleaned it up and painted it ready for the rebuild. I also painted the throttle body and I'm painting the alternator, tensioner, and bracket just to tidy the engine up ready for the engine build. Whilst the manifold was off I fitted the USP RFD kit. My box of goodies was shipped from the US aswell so hopefully will be here by the end of next week.
My next job is to decide what turbo to get. Ive been weighing up a Borg Warner EFR turbo vs Gtx3071r. Most of the feedback is mainly a mixed view; some say get the EFR as it spools better than the gtx and holds constant boost, whereas others say the gtx is alot easier to map and fit as the EFR requires an independent control/management system. What are peoples views on them? I'm only after around 450hp and both units comfortably reach those figures with around the same price bracket aswell.

My parts arrived from the US. I'm slowly but surely gathering all the parts so I can start the build itself. Ive decided to go with a gtx3071r .63 A/R turbo with tial housing. Collecting it next weekend and hopefully going for a ride in a 550hp mk5 with the the same setup to get an idea of the fun. :driver:

I'm glad you bought the VIS hpfp internals as I did that about 6weeks ago :grin:
