There have been supply issues with the autotech for a while now, that's why I went with the KMD which JBS did have in stock and was received next day.

Install instructions can be found here - http://www.autotech.com/instructions/i127100k.pdf

Ok, I think I'm in need of a quick run through the advantages of the high pressure fuel pump.

They all seem to be around 500-800 quid.  What will this give me performance wise?

Is there a noticeable difference?  Any issues/problems I should be aware of?

Thanks

it'll only be that much if you go for the APR replacment pump.
new internals will set you back 300 queen quids
It will also give you a huuuuggggeeeee amount more torque in the midrange+ more bhp, which is what you want. torque is what makes your car feel fast

It a reasonably easy job to do if you have the tools and a very clean working environment.

The only issue on mine was the original o-ring had perished and they don't supply a new one with the kit.

I was in a hurry so had the TT Shop do mine at the same time the 2+ Revo code flashed onto the car the night I was driving down to Folkenstone to travel to the ring  :laugh:

Phone Statllers in Sheffield for the Autotech internals. They had a few left in stock last week and he's ordered another 8 too. :happy2:
