being able to match requested fuel pressure  :wink:

this will then mean that car can run at full capacity regardless of it's state of tune  :happy2:

Lastly - I can't believe you're going for that APR propeganda and dismissing Carl's advice, I'm sure he doesn't care what pump you fit, he isn't getting the profit off it. Sure Autotech might have had a few bad uns early on, but that statement put out by JKM was a bit too far if you ask me. Autotech 100% addressed the issue.

....Wrong! If you read my earlier post* you'll see that I am taking JKM's advice and it's nothing to do with "APR propoganda" - In fact, to date, I have never read anything written by APR about their pump. [*= unless it's the other thread where HPFP's are being discussed today]

Robin you can disagree with me all you like but the fact is that even with the car in it's stock guise is struggles to keep requested rail pressure, data logs prove this categorically.

....I don't dispute your knowledge of such things but it leaves me questioning why JKM haven't advised me to fit an aftermarket HPFP, especially as they have developed my car from stock.

....To me, that makes a lot of sense..

[Damn!! I didn't want to spend even more on modding my car!]

Let me add my penny worth...

Anything that removes a restriction improves the "cumulative effect" of all the other running components.  Remapped cars typically have a slight plateau in their bhp profile - typically between 3700-4500 rpm. 

It's down to sufficient fuel being available at the correct pressure...

Come on RR - you know you want to have a HPFP?  :party:
