Hi guys so im in the process of purchasing the autotech hpfp internals for my s3 8p this weekend . But... Whilst doing some quick research i seen that apr and loba sell complete pumps .from reading on the net guys say that the loba is a better product than autotech so was curious what do they cost the apr is out of the question close to 20k i just wanted to find out is there any where in gauteng or even in south Africa that stock these loba pumps or are they only available to import ?
If loba is a better product for a lil more expensive id rather save up a lil more for a better product.
Any1 on here who is using or used it?
what was the outcome?
And where did u get it from ?
Thanks guys
Loba hpfp ???

Re: Loba hpfp ???
There are some small differences between the piston designs and coatings between the two but funamentally they are the same. The autotechs are perfectly fine though.
The only pumps that i would consider better are the IE and APR ones. These are non-stepped pistons with a new seal arrangement and dont have the drawbacks that the stepped pistons have.
