My oil smells of fuel and always has done, it's not real bad but i think most of these engines will to some degree especially when you do frequent short trips. I'd start to worry when the oil level rises and you start to get backfires. I would imagine once they start to leak at 130bar it wouldn't take too long to fill the crankcase.

I after experiencing stage 2, and liking it....lots, I am so tempted to get the HPFP, but it doesn't end there, I will almost certainly need a clutch as well!!!  :sick:

Sooner or later perhaps. Mine held on for Stage 2+ equivalent and I only uprated the clutch after going for the K04....of course, might as well pop that Quaife/Peloquin/Wavetrac LSD in while the clutch is being done! Ooooh, that slippery slope  :laugh:

The war of the HPFP's has been waging for years.

If they were both the same price, which would you buy?


....So, all you guys with Autotechs, would you still have bought it if the APR was the same price?

I would have gone apr as it's an easier option. Same as if you had choice of buying lsd and get it fitted or buy a box with lsd already. Both at same price then surely 90% would go with box with it fitted for an easier life?

....That's an interesting analogy  :happy2:

At the risk of sounding pedantic, opening up a DSG box to fit a diff has the advantage of being able to inspect the other cogs etc for wear.

Well im popping to shark to find out what map i have on mine as I still havent had a cel appear after fitting the sports cat 2 weeks and 500 miles ago. I think I am stage 2 based on that with the internals. I have fitted the autotech internals and would fit them even if the price was the same. They are pretty straight forward to fit and I always do things myself to ensure they are fitted correctly. Apr are good but very pricey and the cost is mostly down to the brand name.

You won't always get a CEL. I can run a stock map with my milltek and won't get a cel. for some reason it was only with the 3rd version of the stage 3 he did gave me a cel. Ben at shark said that the cel was due to a lack of flow over the lambda sensor with that particular map

How does map alterations affect the flow over a lambda sensor?

Beats me :confused:
But I've never had a cel in all the time I've had all the different tuned or stock maps on my car, only had it with the shark map. :popcornsoda:
