He had one guy buy one of his hpfp and hybrid turbos. Tild him he could figure it all out. Even have him upgrade his lpfp. In the end the guy just had a bunch of parts he couldn't use. He is now just running is20 on his own Maestro settings. He says he knew he wa staking a chance and accepts responsibility, but the tuner should not have sold him the turbo and hpfp without a refund guarantee
I always wonder just how different the awd and fwd 1.8t tunes really are. They're identical blocks after all.
You don't know what you're talking about here. The issue is not just pressure. There is communication with the lpfp and volume at pressure. Just because you are running an APR tune does not mean the pump will work for you. I've been actively involved in this pump swap for close to a year. So many parameters are different that the ecu sees an error. Plus, the jb4 manipulates the pressure to a higher level than an APR tune. APR actually runs the pump at a lower pressure and changes injector cycle more than anything. What pressure are you seeing on the 100 octane file?
UM does not offer an hpfp upgrade. They have an mpi option and a flex fuel file. Jeff will do fwd. He was interested in doing mine. I am close to them though. Not sure where you are located. In order to do my fwd auto, they wanted the car for a few days. As appealing as having the first UM tuned fwd sounded, I need my car every day. I am working with a different protuner now. I have the hpfp in the garage and the file loaded on the flasher, but just need to find a free hour or so to swap the pump and flash it. If you have a UM shop near you, have them reach out to Jeff
You don't necessarily need to hack up the harness. Just slice it open and the wire reaches. Someone else was looking into the RS pump. You still may have issues with the signal and the pumps communicating though. The ecu is looking for a certain value, when you give it something else, it tries to correct. That is where you need the tune
I've seen actually data from it on an APR file, on a Maestro file and on a custom tune. I know what the issues are from working with the tuner. If you feel like you know better, then by all means go run it. It's your car and I don't give a fuck if it doesn't run correctly. Reflect tuning figured out the issues in the spring. I could have bolted it on then and went with it, but I wasn't ready to make the jump. I'm doing it now. And you are retarded if you think APR is going to make an OTS file that supports a different hpfp from a different engine that is made by a different manufacturer. Arin even commented on this like 2 years back when the subject first came up. So glad you finally joined the party though. So go ahead and bolt it up and report back. Several of us already have done this and know the outcome, but them again, you are the special Jack Jones, king of the VAG world
