Why would you need to send Giles an LR pump AND a 1.6 pump?  The LR pump does not need any components from the 1.6 pump.  Is he collecting 1.6 pumps?  Just run the LR pump.  No need to send it to anyone...

Good call Libby -
I checked with Gee Bee and it wasn't a 1/6TD pump that he had sent along with the Rover pump to Giles for high performance custom build but an AHU pump along with a Rover for like $2200 - so I don't know if rebuilding  both or turning them both into one supper custom build pump for that much - anyway nix the 1.6TD pump info I gave out - not totally understanding Guy but that's because correspondence was vague -
97 Passat 1Z, 98 Jetta AHU, 91 Jetta AAZ TD, and 81 Rabbit Pickup

I asked Giles a couple years ago, here's his answer:

yes we are building M-TDI pumps and yes we need two donor pumps for sure.
a TDI pump and an AAZ pump to make the base pump from.
cost is $1400 with you sending in the two pump cores, if you need them we have for $350 each

it comes with the the TDI original head, if you want a bigger one I would have to purchase one from Bosch  $1000 more

No Rover pump required.  The only possible reason to send Giles a Rover pump plus something else would be to put the Rover guts into a housing with the smaller nose that fits the stock AHU bracket without modification.  I certainly wouldn't spend my money that way.
