thats the standings so far

Autotech is cheaper, APR has been around longer, so numerical comparisons don't mean that much. :smiley:

Have you run all three at one time or another John? For anyone who wants to go Stg 2+ but has not yet the APR is struggling in my eyes as Loba pump has all benefits and is cheaper and Autotech for anyone on a tight budget is quite a lot cheaper

You are right. The Loba pump also has other benefits as the tip of the piston is larger and so will be less prone to wearing the inside of the cam follower, plus it is advertised as rated to 150 bar tested, whereas the APR pump is tested at 140bar IIRC.
For me the Loba pump is clearly the better value pump and the fact that it looks to be a higher specification than the APR pump says to me that anyone buying the APR one from now one either doesn't know about the Loba pump or is brand loyal to a fault.
N8KOW:
Cheers for the feedback Hurdy! The loba pump is clearly the one :innocent:
berg:
Great summary John
If you can afford it get a Loba, if you are on a budget get used Autotech internals (whilst you are saving up for the Loba :grin:)
vRSAlex:
APR is tested to 150 bar as the stage 3 turbo kit runs a 150bar FPRV.
Both the contact points onto the follower are the same on both pumps. APR on the left, Loba on the right:
Loba is still the winner on price, but there isn't anything in it between that and the APR in terms of performance and quality.
