nope, std pump which should deliver 130bar. (which to be fair it does at lower rpm) , thats why a swap was attempted.
Adding a HPFP has been considered but a) I shouldnt need it and b) it may not even help
(still cant believe it pulled 320bhp @ prosport!) but time will tell.
Ironically some maps request less fuel pressure (and allow AFR to lean and EGR to raise above recomended limits), so on those I may not have had a problem!

The standard pump will provide 130bar but the problem lies with it  not being able to keep up the rail pressure.
Without traction power is nothing!

Well, I know of several very highly modified GTI's (not Ed30's) of around 300 bhp and they only have the stock fuel pump without any issues. Also VW Racing's track cars which are raw race cars and not used on the road.

[The same cars also don't bother with the S3 intercooler, as do the SEAT race cars have stock intercoolers.]

RR those cars will have a map that caters for the rail pressure being around 110bar that the standard pump can manage.

The pump specific software from APR and Revo calls for 130 bar rail pressure and the standard pump isn't up to the task.

....Good point!

....My understanding was that you could run Revo2+ with a stock FP :confused:

you can run revo stage2 with stock pump, revo stage2+ is the fuel pump specific map :happy2:

....Good, because that's what I run!

But do you HAVE TO run an aftermarket FP with Revo Stage2+? I thought not :surprised:

It was my understanding that the stage2+ is the fuel pump specific map, designed for the HPFP so I would have thought the pump is req to get the best from the map. The car would probably run ok as the ECU would adjust but not t its true potential

Yup, revo want you to have an uprated HPFP before they flash you with the stage 2+ software as the software requires the rail pressure to be 130bar lower down the rev range.

It really is a puzzle of which no-one has found a defined answer.

....Those are the worst kind of faults!

Btw, your ex K03 turbo is holding out and delivering very well indeed so far!

Thanks :happy2:
It was frustrating for sure as the car was fine for a while then fault appeared.
Glad all is well with your car Robin. :happy2:

New fuel filter fitted and nada difference

thanks Greenouse , yeah it is a pain but Awesome have been great so far
However we are fast approaching a decision point!

Have they tried running it stock without a remap on it??, i bet the maps causing it.

lol Phil we've been here 2 pages ago.
Runs fine on std map, it IS the remap demanding more of the OE fuel system.
The problem is that the OE system should be able to deliver whats asked.

id maybe try a different map then john? is this a problem with just Revo maps  and not others.

Sorry didnt read the pages in between to catch up on the latest. :embarrassed:

This "Bad fuel" youve had, no signs of water in the fuel, which may of lead to other damage. Have they done any form of

compresssion checks to all cylinders??  , head off maybe and inspect ??
