Just bought a 10mm M-TDI pump from 'Dieselrules' for my setup :lol: . He claims that they are made from Europe by Ex Bosch Tech and should easily make 150hp.
I wanted to go with a Giles pump, as i already know that they are well worth it, but i could not justify the asking $1400 plus an aaz and tdi pump that was required on top of that.
I hope that this pump works out ok and hopefully i won't need to send it to Giles to be reworked.
well over in europe some cars came with a mechanical TDI pump. apparently they are 'bolt' ons for the 1Z/AHU engines. i would imagine performance/economy to be pretty close to the electronically controlled units.
Giles makes a mean pump. nobody else that i know of does performance pumps like him. lots of man hours go into building the pumps, and that is what makes it worth it.
