Its working well, we are only on our first round of calibration, but looks very promising (see facebook page

)

Will you be running an exchange program on the turbos? Nice power figures!!

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Does anyone know which model year 118 TSI started receiving the new fuel pumps?

Not sure yet, but that is definitely a possibility.

If you can read the part numbers off your fuel pump & send them to me I can check for you. Otherwise when its plugged into the APR server, it will let us know - smart thing that server

I had a quick look for that fuel pump label on Sunday (just as those heavy rains started) but couldn't find what I was looking for near the back on the right side. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be easily visible or if I have to remove certain parts.

Cheers! I'll see if I can find the fuel pump and read the label tonight.

Out of interest, whats the performance diff of the stage 1 tune with old pump vs new pump?

I think about 8 - 9 kw & similar torque (thats off the top of my head), we never bothered updating the website to show the extra gains, we stuck with the lower figures - owners of the later ones get a bonus! If you have the early pump, you can purchase the later pump (although we have never done it or priced it up).

lol, that might be why Dean's taking a while to reply to my email.

yeah, don't have anything official, we only personally ran the polo's on the dyno's, but Golf owners have been loving the extra as well. When we get our new dyno installed, we will be able to do a lot more of that in house.
