Wouldn't mind that myself but don't have any tint buddies unfortunately

If you dont have these mods than you should be okay just remeber when you go to upgrade and get these upgrades that you might want to contact the Rpm Store or Cp-e and get on the waitng list.. GL..

gen2s have completely different ecu logic and can barely handle an intake and stage 1 tune

FWIW, the only immediately visible difference between the cp-e pump and the stock pump (from the outside at least) is a sticker cp-e put on theirs for identification in the event of a warranty claim (I don't know why else it would be on there).

+1 - I have the cp-e pump and if I could do it again I would 100% go either KMD or autotech. Just make sure to follow those directions and you'll be fine. Just be careful and take your time. Take it from someone who was pissed after finding out how easy it was to swap the pump - just go with the internals and save your money.

I know this is a huge thread revival but I ended up going with the autotech's
They are holding up well after 400 or so miles so thanks for all of the imput
