Giles is a diesel wizard.  He builds performance injection pumps for all types of diesels and is a master at what he does.  When you get one of his "super pumps" it's build up for YOU, ie what style of driving you want to do, what kind of turbo you're running, how big your intercooler is (if you've got one), how heavy your vehicle is, you name it.  That, and the pumps he builds are tuned for the fuel you'll actually be running, whereas the stock pumps are tuned for 1980's diesel fuel which doesn't exist anymore.

The long and the short of it is you can't really build a pump the way Giles can.  He's got a flow bench, he can set up the dynamic timing, and he's got access to the full range of "stuff" that can ever go in to one of these pumps (ie camplate, advance pistons, springs, etc etc etc).  We can "guess and test" but he can scientifically build the pump.


Does sound like the dream pump, but much of the fun is in the tinkering.
