[Vwdiesel] Fw: Re: 1.6 liter diesel pump

[Dave]

Hi Guys,

   I am considering buying a diesel injection pump from this place in Ontario called Performance Diesel injection. I have read really good reviews on other VW advice internet sites. What do you think. Do you think the claim of more HP with the performance pump and better mileage is realistic and can be done with good long term reliability?  I attached his letter. I am not calling him a liar or anything, but before I buy it I am hoping for some feedback.

Dave
