topline oilpump?

[90YellowTSI]

does anyone recommend using the topline oil pump? I would imagine going back with the oem would be my best interest. just thought i might try to save a few bucks for once.

I saw a thread here on those things some people said they were ok, but i never had one just oem.

I wont run one ever again! Had one blow out at 700 miles at the track last year!
Hell I put in a used oem pump last year to get me going, and its still in my car now with no issues, still spins like brand new!!!

Something important like that I"d only buy oem..

yeah i guess i'll stick with oem. better safe than sorry.

I've had one on a car of mine for almost 15k miles. I've read a bunch about the company's products and since the car is stock, I'm not entirely worried if it goes out. It is a very important piece of the engine and I'd likely go OEM on any type of "build".
