I would swap to Loba if a GB price came in at circa £495.00 but not worth paying £500+ for a mod which will only give slight improvement over what have

Its a very noticeable gain.

Ok Alex, let's say we have one Autotech and one Loba pump. If the logs show both make 130bar all the way as requested by the software, how does the Loba provide a noticeable gain ?
vRSAlex:
I had an ed30 in a few months back running an Autotech. Logs showed it was working fine, but the customer wanted something he could trust 100% so we switched to a Loba. Logs instantly showed the loba reacted quicker to throttle changes, but still ran identical pressure to the Autotech. Car felt noticeably faster and smoother.
martziniuk:
I think it depends on the condition of the pump the Autotech internals are fitted to. I had an old OEM pump which I fitted internals to, then swapped them to a new OEM pump. The difference between them was massive, the new pump found pressure much quicker than the old pump.
I then bought a low mileage APR pump which performed just as well, or maybe a fraction worse than the new pump fitted with the Autotech internals.
sub39h:
I've got an Autotech. I bought it "second hand" (tho it was essentially new) for a good price, but if I were to get a 2nd chance I'd go for the LOBA. shame it didn't exist when i had mine fitted

i know in the past Autotechs have been known to fail, BUT it does still seem to be a very VERY rare ocurrence. i agree with berg that you need to weigh up the cost and benefit and for me certainly the APR does not justify its cost. the LOBA imo does but i can understand why berg feels it might not.
RedRobin:
.
I wouldn't consider the Autotech - Too many people I know who are in the motor trade and whose opinions I respect, don't recommend it.
I have an APR and might have considered the Loba if it had been available at the time. Am totally happy with the APR, so great peace of mind.
