Which HPFP ?
« on: March 22, 2015, 10:02:59 pm »
Hey Guys,

Whats the best route to take for HPFP's ? I've heard good things about the Loba ones. The Autotech internals are cheaper but are they any good ?

I went with loba as if your going to put the auto tech internals in yourself you could make a slight mistake and then you've got big problems!

Also got a good price for loba and you also get a new cam follower with the loba hpfp!

Give Alex at aks tuning a call he can supply a loba hpfp  :happy2:

Loba.  I personally much prefer their approach of taking a brand new VAG pump and modifying it, rather than Autotech's route.

Whilst on the subject, the Loba's plunger spring is much stiffer than stock.  Does anyone know by how much this reduces the lifespan of the follower?

When I go stage 2+ I'll be looking at LOBA. The APR one gets really good reviews; but for the extra money I can't really see the advantage over the LOBA version.

Atleast when purchasing a LOBA HPFP if you decided to sell the car and go back to standard it would be much more straightforward to replace the stock HPFP too than messing round with uprated internals

Are there any performance gains from the loba over the auto tech? or is it a case of simplicity and having a new pump casing to go with?

I have had the APR one and changed to the LOBA due to issues with APR customer service. My reason for those choices is i want the peace of mind of having a pump that has been tested before delivery, which a homebuilt Autotech ain't
