my buddy can get his hands on a couple 13mm pumps from automatic mk4's. Would i be drowning my engine out? I am undecided on turbo yet but maybe twins :twisted:

thanks

Automatic mk4's have an 11mm pump, not 13mm. The pump itself cannot be used, of course, because it is electronic. The plunger/head will not fit the 1.6TD pump directly. It will fit the later model (95 and up) 1.9TD pump though and can be made to fit the 1.6TD pump if you change to the late model 1.9TD camplate.
