about to buy a mk 5..with EPIC....! ...?

[slogger]

Not thread hijacking ( or i am ) but say the epic failed , what is the bosch option ie mechanical pump and keep the turbo is there such an option

[trigger]

Convert to a Bosch 145 or 146 mechanical pump, you still keep the turbo, you will need a throttle cable to replace the electronic one, you won't need the ECU anymore

do we need to change the injectors
as mine are pencil type ones

Di, take a look around as there's plenty of info on this conversion.

been offerd a 145 or 146 pump on a 75bhp bannana engine would this work with brown dot injectors as mine is turboed

145/146 pump with Turbo injectors is what you need as I said.
