Was thinking apr pump but pricey
Might go new genuine pump then add the auto tech components anyone done this before
-
Why do you need to buy the new pump, you can just add the new internals. :happy2:
-
If you're gonna do that you might as well spend £150 extra and get an APR
-

Because the internals will wear to the new pump seal instead of making a poor fitment from the O.E piston.
There is a new pump for sale on Briskoda £55 inc del.
-
It would only cost 470 inc vat to buy new pump and autotech internals

.
Does your quest for a HPFP mean that you are running a Mk5 nowadays, Dan? And should I be watching out for you in my rear view mirror? :scared:
-
I thought the Apr pump was around £700ish inc vat
-
Apr works out about 780 inc vat
I bit cheaper if I fit auto tech internals to new one pump
Yeah Robin steel grey mk5 gti. Don't think it will be upto yours, Yet

^^^^
Nice one! I note your use of the word "yet"! Doubtless I'll see it when I visit you @ vanworx :happy2:
Autotech route is cheaper, but....... (I went APR).
-
Cool.
Not had any experience of either. But can't see why a brand new pump and autotrch parts would be much different to apr

....Well, are you sitting comfortably?
Those folks who have bought the Autotech version will tell you that it's much better value for money and works fine and those who bought the APR version will tell you that it's safer and gives greater peace of mind.
There are lots of threads and discussions on the subject on this forum if you do a Search.
My biass is to the APR and so do JKM who have long experience of both.
I must admit that sticking new Autotech internals into a new OEM pump must be better than fitting into a used pump, at least in theory.

Will I see any gains if I fit a hpfp & get another remap done??

....It's the remap which will give you bhp/tq gains and an aftermarket HPFP will better manage the remap's demands so you don't experience fuel cuts. I don't know about the Autotech's smoothness but the APR HPFP delivers noticeably smooth power.
Your tuner R-tech (Nick) will advise you well I'm sure.

I have the autotech fitted by myself and you can feel the difference with the engine. I thought about the apr pump but it costs too much for what it is. My only concern regarding the apr pump is that it uses a stiffer spring than the oe item. I was concerned about the extra pressure placed on the cam lobe, but that has been discussed to death on other topics. I fitted mine into my 50,000 mile fuel pump and its working fine with no issues.
