I need one for a t3 swap in a MK1, would like a known working pump - all pumps considered (local stock rebuild is kinda cheap...)
-
If you are looking for cheap,..
a turbo pump doesn't give you more power.
It just limits smoke before boost builds.
You can do that yourself, with your foot.

I have one. It's off a mk1. The engine was pulled about 5 years ago but the fuel filter was left attached. There is a good chance that every seal on it will leak just because of how long it has been sitting around for. It still turns over freely and there was fuel in the delivery valve holders when I took the lines off. $50 as-is. If you want me pull the head on it to make sure it's not a write-off I can do that.
I think it's 0 460 494 162

explain further.
I have two na pumps here, I thought the lda capsule adjusts fueling for boost.

The LDA limits off boost fueling so you don't have smoke. Or it enables more fuel when under boost, whichever way you want to look at it.
Basically on a TD pump when you have no boost you have say a max of 100ccs. When you have boost that now changes to 130cc max. On the NA pump you will either always have 100ccs or 130cc depending on how far in you wind the max fuel screw. I made those numbers up btw.
Ultimately the fuel is controlled by your right foot but I would imagine if you are at the 130cc setting on a NA pump you will get high EGTs and smoke because well, right feet tend to end up on the floor :P
