I think I'd consider this option. I'm about 2-hours away from Les. Is he supplying the parts, or do you get them yourself and take them or ship them to GDM? Also, could you tell me about the total cost in a private message, parts and installation? Is it a one day job? If so, I'd just wait.
I believe Les stocks a few kits. He has them listed on his website.
Thank you! I looked quickly before and didn't see it, but that's because it's on page 2!
That's an awesome story! I never would have guessed any dealer would install one of these, I'm actually quite impressed. Props to your dealer
Man, what "guru" wouldn't want to do an install like this?? I'd have a hard time calling him a "guru" after he said no...
Likely came with the clause of "we'll install it, but there'll be no warranty on a non factory part". That said, many dealers will turn down a job like that because it's a non OEM part. So props to your dealer for helping you out!
Hermtdi is my local guru- one of the very best. He actually didn't give a firm no, but said he'd prefer not to do the install. I didn't persue it further. Andrew's kit was fairly new at the time, and I don't think Herm was familiar w/ it, and how high quality a kit it was. I totally understand where he was coming from.
On a stock tune I would highly doubt any improvements at all other than perhaps slightly more stable rail pressure, unless your original pump was very damaged.
Not really any improvement before or after.... still around 60mpg highway in my car. UK mpg.
Well, yes, but let's talk in actual measurable differences. Probably the same as those "eco" tyres which make very little difference (if any).
True. The gain was small enough to be hard to quantify. There are any number of ways to reduce friction losses. Correct tire pressure, reduce unnecessary weight , aero drag, parasitic losses etc. I wouldn't recommend the cp3 primarily as a fuel saving measure.
