Just wanted to let everyone know that I bit the bullet and bought a performance injection pump for my 86 Golf 1.6 N/A. It is running great! I Wish I could put it on a dyno to see what I gained over stock, but it is very noticeable. I am getting 40 mpg driving it in city and highway up to 75 mph easily. And I probably am going to change my injectors if I can find a deal on a set, since I am on my original ones at 110,000 miles.

My next move is sending a pump off to The Master.
What did it run you?

Never delt with them, but I had noticed Midwest Fuel Injection has complete injectors for $27.49 each. They also have the return line.

What are these pumps retailing at? I'd love one for my GTD.

Mine came in around 900USD when it was all said, done, and back to me. And I think it was definitely worth it.

Mine is a N/A and the performance pump was $750 Plus $50 for shipping $250 core charge that he returned when I sent the core back. So $800 all told, the turbo pump is a little more ask Giles at 905-940-2266. Best $800 I've ever spent
Considering the cheapest N/A pump is $400 plus shipping from who knows who rebuilt it, and the Giles pump is $750 plus shipping for a modified high performance pump that tons of people are swearing by, it was an easy choice.

Or a before/after dyno. Not that the OP could do it, but someone who's going to run a Giles pump could. Just make sure all the upgrades except for the pump are done before the "before" dyno.

I would love to hear dyno figures for a 1.6 n/a with a giles performance pump. I think my car got 52 hp stock and could barely get out of its own way before. Now I'm watching my speedo and rarely downshifting on the fairly gentle hills around here. I know i'm not holding anybody up around town either.

I'm in S.C. and it got here in 4 days I believe. You just have to check beforehand if he has one done. You get your deposit back when you mail your old one back.
