I know! 11mm pump soon!Needs more fuel!How much boost are you running now?
Your wifey will have more than a little passing power, I hope she has a firm grip because the torque steer will wrench the wheel out of your hands!Well it's in my Wife's MKII Golf, the Rocco is getting a very high powered TDI. I just want the wifey's car to have a little passing power.

Wish I could say the same about the stock GT1544S on mine. Doesn't fully spool up till 2200rpm and runs out of puff at 3500rpm. Pathetic little thing
Have you thought about putting a different gearbox in there? I thought it was revving a bit on the high side, hence questioning which gear was used. Something like an ASD or CTN 'box.

. Only way you'll lose fuel economy with a pump swap is with a heavy right foot.
It isn't like I have to pay someone to do the job twice!Why swap twice? Just do the 11mm and be done
If a 10mm pump will support 200 whp, what is wrong with trying one out? Plus, I have a 10mm ready to bolt on, my 11mm needs to be sent out for rebuilding....
Is the 11 leaking or clicking? If it has a bad QA, just put the 10mm one on there. Most pump problems are easily solved without an expensive rebuildIt isn't like I have to pay someone to do the job twice!
You've seen my dyno, the 10 mm can support 200 whp, though that is pushing it a little. Now with R520's being my limiter, if you don't want to go past that size, then put in the 11 mm and you'll be set I imagine.It isn't like I have to pay someone to do the job twice!
I should have been more clear...I have a couple ALH 10mm pumps and an 11mm camplate, plunger and head from Chill...I need to send the guts and a 10 core out to be combined and tested. I have an ALH 10mm with low miles that I will just swap on for now.Is the 11 leaking or clicking? If it has a bad QA, just put the 10mm one on there.

Struggling? Don't know how thin the air is in Norway but seems to work wonderfully here.
Where did you come up with this? By reading Garrett's conservative graphs? If I were manufacturing turbo chargers I definitely wouldn't advertise their full potential since paying out warranties to people pushing them to the limit can get rather expensive. I find it odd that the biggest naysayer is the same guy pm'ing me to buy one of his turbos....
I started with a 1Z block. I dressed up the stock connecting rods when I had it apart as I didn't have the money for aftermarket ones. I keep my timing less advanced (closer to the blue line) to keep PCP's down.
I'm glad I'm not the only one worries about upgraded internals as a safety measure. I'm assured that the head gasket is comfortably safe up to ~32 psi, but call me paranoid, despite reassurance from a couple gurus, about how much the engine outputs compared to the overhead/margins allotted for when the engine was designed.
