HPFP stud conversion kit

[fab5freddy]

Anybody done this, or know if this is sold this side of the pond?

I'm about to change my follower for about the 6th time i'd say. Any opinions on the worth of a kit like this? I'm generally very careful removing and putting back on, but can't help but think this is a good and worth while mod if like me you change often....

Same as you mate, can't find anyone over here that sell the kit. Found a U.S. Company but charge over $100 for shipping!!

Can't get an email through to that first crowd, i've also found this lot http://www.urotuning.com/Fuel-Pump-Stud-Kit-2-0T-FSi-HPFP-p/hpfp-stud-kit.htm

Managed to get through to them, so will see what they charge....

Less than 20 quid on TFSI tuning for titanium studs and nuts

Just remember that if you do this you have to remove ALL pipes off the HPFP to remove it. You won't be able to leave the rubber hose connect as you can with normal bolts.

I would rather use these bolts than the stud technique although I've never had any issues with the OEM items fitted (it's more about being careful and using touch).
