Intercooler pump dead - DIY?
So after running a pitiful 12.2 at the track last night, skratch77 informed me I probably have a blown ic pump. I have a mechanic friend who has worked on my vws and audis for years. Is this something fairly simple to do? Is there a DIY posted anywhere? I was thinking of ordering the pump from parts.com ... Are they selling the latest and greatest revision? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

do a search there are a few trhreads on doing this -- It is a simple job -- any mechanic can do it --- even DIYers can do it -- Difficult part is taking off the bumper - after that its pretty simple -- take out pump and put new pump in..

I run the updated bosch pump and haven't had any problems.
You could run the Johnson CM30 or the CM90 as a upgraded unit.
I am honestly going to forgo the norm with upgrading pumps and heat exchangers and just run meth/water injection.
Seems like the most effective way to lower IAT's and it's roughly the same cost.

Before you do anything, have you logged your IAT temps? A scan tool/logger should be anyone's first purchase.
You mentioned ET, what was your MPH? How did it compare with skratch?

Def a bad pump he was at 145 idle while I was 95.or my stock pulley car is faster than a k4 lol
Robby you got a better et because of my mickey thompson drag radials you were running.
Once you get a new pump you will trap at least 8-10 mph faster
