If you want to end up getting power out of the car, I'd send the pump to Giles at Performance Diesel in Canada for a rebuild. Tell him your plans and he can work his magic for whatever you want. He is the best with IPs. We have a performance rebuilt TD pump from him on our TD (its factory turbo) and it was the best money we spent during the rebuild we did of the engine.

1.6 n/a with a leaky pump... advice, please

I can't say I'm surprised. The car sat for 16 years, then I put 13k miles on it in a few months. It's leaking noticeably now, and losing its prime every night.
The plan for this car is to eventually (hopefully sooner than later) turbo it, and not a factory setup. I haven't done enough research to know exactly what turbo I want to run, but I do metal fab for a living, so the options are wide open. Anyway, I say that to get to this... considering the fact that I want to be turbo'd in the next year, what should I do with my leaky pump now? I hope this makes sense... sorry for the open-ended question, but any advice is appreciated.-C5 A6 2.7T 6MT Stage 2+
