I have not changed the engine cut so I dont think Ill be reving it too hard but I am running 405 rwkw any suggestions. Bearing in mind the gears are $600 and the pump is $1200 or near enough.

I am making 455kw and still have the factory setup, be kind and it will last. If you have the spare cash and you want piece of mind, change it out for the full pump and gears. The pump from atomic has relief holes drilled in it to ensure over pressure situations dont happen and crack the housing.

Is your engine apart. We have them in our F6s. Its just another thing you don't have to worry about when its done.Whats involved to fit, I would install a whole pump.

Let me know if you want the exact part number and I will dig it up, I recommend ordering directly from harrop.
