I have heard that the pump can be prone to failure. Only problem is the coin is running out fast. Need to prioritise.

That way you know what sort of power level I am talking about. Also the package I am looking at is listed a stage 1. Not considering E85. Yes oil pump-original question.

Stock turbo won't push it that far. Pump gears should be fine unless you try to hurt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyones stage 1 is different, and how far is stage 2, or 3? Its a slippery slope to misunderstanding And I think tuners doing it as well sort of erks me a little. Ah I thought you were talking fuel pump My apologies. Im on stock oil pump at 440rwkw but zf though Happy modding ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The package I'm am considering: 1000 ID injectors Cooler thermostat K&N panel filter Custom tune Possibly intercooler and Cat- got to see how far the dollar stretches.

To be honest I wouldnt bother with a cooler thermostat, Itll just make your car run less efficiently especially on cruise, And if its hot anyway the thermostat will open up anyway and not make a difference to temps... IC is a good idea especially in the WA summer heat the stock core gets heat soaked very quickly. If you went over to e85 that'd be a different ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
