So driving home car goes into limp flashing cell them constant. Got it home checked my ic hoses and then I noticed the smell of fuel. Of course I left my vag in Oregon when I came back to Vegas because I said to myself, and I quote, "I haven't used it in years, I won't need it.". Yeah so anyways I'm not as in touch with this market as I used to be so looking for some good rebuild options that may have come out recently. Please suggestions welcome, except APR. I have an Autotech internals in there now and it lasted about 90k miles. Really hoping it's just my pump.

I rebuilt my original pump with Integrated Engineering internals. Its been almost 2 years and 10k miles without incident on a K04. The cam follower wear has been comparable to the stock pump (minimal).
Thanks for the input. IE makes good stuff.
I'm thinking when I remove the oem internal bits...I will compare the calipered measurements to that of the Autotech. Curious since they use the same piston diameter to know what they do to the piston guide and/or piston length allowing it to provide up to "50% more pressure" that they say it will.
I almost went with Integrated's but wanted a new hpfp, because I am having suspicious concerns about my regulator, and internals for le$$.
Given, on the MK5, I am putting less than "3k miles /year" now...80k to 100k miles will give the Autotech much time.

It's been a long time since seeing them back to back but their internals are noticably beefier than stock iirc. But it's been years since I have seen them back to back.
