anther IC Pump question, Johnson, Renntech or Bosch

I'm in the process of deciding which one of the above mention to go with, I like the idea of Renntech, but it's very expensive.

I've read some thread on the Johnson, and some have failed.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

I believe the RennTech is actually made by Pierburg and can also be purchased for less through SpeeDriven.

I've been running this pump for a little bit now and It works great. All the info you need on the pump is in this link below.

Thank you for the reply. Do you have this installed on a SL65? If not, any idea on anyone who has and if it works out? I read through the thead, appreas as if Renntech took this product and improved it, however, I'm not Renntech would be worth the extra $$$.

Thanks

From Johnson to Meziere. Shoot me an Email and I can help you with some more info in pumps. I don't sell pumps, but I can give you some recommendations.
