well i can tell you about how the old pump failedwhen i strip it down.. but it was the timing solenoid that gave up not the pump itself.....

Just bcause a component came out a factory rated at X does not mean that it cannot be tweaked slightly - there is so much redundancy in most engineering things now adays....

in fairness it has done over 25K miles in tuned state - even with it being 'broken' for long periods due to other engine parts failing on me lool

and i re-iterate, the vag boys get well over 200bhp from the same vp37 pump with reliability - they utilise a VNT turbo to achive the power, they are lucky enough to have a map for it in the ecu!
