Better question is who has he had a good experience with. His s-list is long and distinguished.Damn! I take it you had a bad experience with them?

Looks promising but less than 10 days ago you had hiccups and misfires which you chalked up to acceptable random anomalies while A2B had multiple cars in their shop swapping out pumps and modules to de-bug. Honestly you should add a disclaimer to posts like this that say something like:
* - Misfires and random fuel cuts acceptable.
Seriously, so when you gush about how something is a breeze, people are armed with all of the information.
I understand you are having issues, but you obviously have zero experience with any aftermarket pump other than yours which is not functioning.
Don't ask for input or opinions if you don't want them. Let us know when you give up and sell your car.

I think you might have me confused with the poster originally asking about the fuel cut issues he's experiencing on his PR 450. I didn't ask for your input. I'm currently experiencing zero issues with my pump but I'd go another route if I did it all over again. Straight-forward DIY fueling upgrades are far more involved & taxing from a timing standpoint on this platform when compared to any other I've worked on. I apologize if my post was ill-informed or out of context. I did read the thread and while I understand that your fuel cuts are likely not directly tied to the pump, I don't think mentioning that you're experiencing cuts now (the same exact problem) is unreasonable.
lol everyone I know
this.
I know people that have taken Golf R's there and left with 2 wheel drive Golf Rs. He's stolen parts and money from people. He's blown brand new turbos and blown them within 10 minutes and blames the manufacturers. (even though he didn't drop the oil pan to clean it) He says EQT and Littco are garbage turbos and dick rides DBV2. Until he started blowing those up... now they are "chinese garbage also".
There are multiple cars that had to be fixed by multiple shops and when they tell you what is wrong with the work he did, it's mind blowing. Like fire hazards. Safety issues. Installing ethanol fuel system but using fuel filters that melt in the ethanol.
He's just a shit person that will blame everything and everyone else for his shit work.
Good god people. This is why I wrench on my own cars.Well I contacted A2B after finding out they are 20 minutes from me. He got me in and installed the RS3 pump at a great deal so he came in clutch for me. I guess I'll keep everyone posted with my experience while tuning with Nick @ EQT.
But get this. When he removed the seal to get to the pump, the pump completely came apart. Upon further inspection, the three screws were completely missing. I called the shop who did the original install and emailed them the photos. They reached out apologizing for their fuckup as they had the 3 screws on the mechanic's bench. I guess while on the phone with Precision trying to go over the pump and trying to get me out of there, he completely forgot to reassemble it ?
At that point I asked if it would be worth fixing it but I would still run the risk of it not working properly. Since luck has not been on my side, I pulled the trigger on just getting the RS3 pump with the controller. I'll see if I can sell the pump with the basket for a reasonable price to get some of my money back.
Hard lesson learned. I'm hoping no issues here on out at least.Good god people. This is why I wrench on my own cars.
Ya i like doing my own work so i can do it right, or at least if i messed it up at least i didnt pay someone else to screw it up for me.
