Loba

Loba is a great pump and comes with a replacement cam follower

Apr or Loba

Cheapest place for the Loba is AKS tuning I believe. Fast delivery too

Having had Apr and now Loba the Loba I bought from Samtech is best value for money.
No messing with recon pumps or sending your old one away.
Loba brand new and works great.
Excellent service from Kris at Samtech performance as usual.

APR or Loba would be the only ones I would use

My Loba pump was £550 from Alex at AKS tuning.

I haven't logged the difference between my APR & Loba pump yet but the car performs amazingly with both.
I personally wouldn't use any other especially not just internals

LOBA or APR for me if I had a TFSI again.

Hadn't actually heard of the Loba one, looks ideal especially for resale purposes come the time as well.

Used Samtech for the rest of my parts as well and I must agree they are good and super quick with the delivery.

Ordered my revo intake from there and it came the next day!

***puts Helmet on***

how come no ones said autotech internal's?

I've been using the autotech internals about 25000km without problems

Auto tech internals have proven more likely to fail, and considering the amount of damage they can cause its considered good practise to go for something proven as virtually 100% reliable

The APR one for me is the most "proven" out of all, why?

Because alot of customers use them on race cars for example APR supplied SEAT Sport with the fuel pumps for all of their 2.0TFSI cars they have raced/built over the years.

The LOBA is fairly new to the market still though.

been fine on mine so far, i know someone whos been running autotech HPFP internals on there ED30 for the past 3 years @ stage 2+ 368bhp.

don't BSH speed shop use the autotech HPFP internals in all there cars?

most mechanical failures are due to improper DIY installation of the new internals.

hence why its better to buy a factory built one aka LOBA or APR

Id choose save £500 and install myself (which i did) than spend on over priced APR. just because its built in a factory.

I have Autotech internals, waiting for RS4 valve and go to Stage 2+

RS4 valve's can lose you power as well you know?

not that much of a saving


how much are the auto tech internals? £324 on awesome GTI.

APR rebuild is £478 incl labour

so it costs £150 more and they build it for you?


Really not much in it....
