HPFP's - Why did you choose yours?

yes Danish, spose you are right.

On my own car(s) I used autotch both times, purely down to cost and availability over the APR pump.

Even though i use APR myself, i have assisted a friend in getting an Autotech for his Passat as i find (after skimming the web) it to be near as good as the APR, only difference is it's not tested, so i follow you PDT

As for the flatspot issue, I have seen this on stock, Revo tuned, Unbranded maps, Superchips and right accross the 2.0 TFSi engine range. I have also seen it with Autotech and APR equipped cars. I have been able to work around the flatspot with mapping in most cases but dont believe its a pump issue.

While trying to get to the bottom of my flat spot issue I switched the map off and still get it (although its less pronouced). At first I only noticed it intermitently (not long after pump fitted) and now all the time.

Do you think that the pump and the map (or one or other or combination of) has weaked my fuel pressure regulator. More importantly I guessing if that is the case and I understand yours and Alex's posts is that if I replace the valve with an RS4 version I may cure the flat spot.

RS4 valve might cure it, what brand of map are you running?

REVO St 2.

Not 2+?

Not 2+?

I was advised that stage 2+ gives mostly a big increase in mid range torque rather than out and out top end power. That and I like the power to be as linear as possible, preserve my clutch and maintain traction as much as possible.  Although I may try it at some point to see what all the fuss is about. Just want to get this flat spot fixed and my twintercooler on first.

[vRSAlex]

2+ gives a noticable increase throughout the rev range and the way the power is delivered can be setup with the revo software.

Well worth the upgrade to 2+.
