I do know that I drive torque, while listening to my friends prattle on about horsepower.
How the heck isn't that a fair comparison??I don't want to come across as having a man crush on Karl or his pumps but they have the same 12mm head, are cheaper, have been mounted on a 1.9 & adjusted for a 1.9, come with the correct sprocket and bolt right in.
The LT pumps are 100 percent bolt in, and are perfectly set up for the 1.9. Dozens of installations have proven that as well as the units we have installed in customer conversions.Your right there are cheaper alternatives out there, and for those who solely shop price then you've got your match, however I can deliver a pump overnight, and it's 100 percent new using original Bosch parts (not aftermarket) and warrantied by Bosch.
The only issue right now is I was waiting for months for Bosch to supply parts I needed to modify these and in the end they finally told me these parts are NLA - so I am now having the parts made. I have a backlog of about a dozen pumps waiting...plus just bought a dyno and discovered I need a bigger shop to install it in. Little stuff like that.

I'm just saying is all...

You don't need to confess your love, the only reference I found to Karl's pump heads were 10mm and 11mm so I stand corrected. The LT pumps are 100 percent bolt in, and are perfectly set up for the 1.9. Dozens of installations have proven that as well as the units we have installed in customer conversions.Your right there are cheaper alternatives out there, and for those who solely shop price then you've got your match, however I can deliver a pump overnight, and it's 100 percent new using original Bosch parts (not aftermarket) and warrantied by Bosch.So to avoid an Off Topic debate on who's pumps pump better, I suggest we leave it at this.
I should point out that my pumps are 100% Bosch

Of course a Prothe pump is cheaper, using Chinese parts and not a 20mm shaft base.
I have both covers and springs made right here in the US by ME!! I think I'll send you a couple to try out let me know if you would like to take a look at them!
