William,

I installed a billet pump on my 914 six years ago.  I didn=99t 
like having an electrically dependent engine.  Worked for several months 
with the folks supplying the pump getting the fittings correct as well 
as some drive changes.  They also made some changes to the pressure 
regulator system.  The pump has been working great for almost 100 hours 
now.  Last year it developed a leak in the regulator.  I was able to 
find off-the-shelf racing regulator parts to fix it.  I really like it.

I had other folks who wanted to use that pump but I was unable to get 
pump systems for them because the guys who sold me the pump have stopped 
communicating with me.  

If they will communicate with you and sell you a pump, that=99s 
great.  It should work just fine.  But they seen quite difficult to work 
with once the sale has been made.

You can see my installation efforts on my Europa Owners page.  It=99
s under the =9CMods and other hardware things=9D album.
