ditto but i have never owned one from blue chip. do some research on the rebuilder. not all rebuilders use new parts, not all rebuilders use new electrical boards etc. I know a few places that sell them that are 100% new parts. and know places that sell them at 100% bosch certified spec. so to be at spec could mean not always new parts.
I bought mine from sourceautomotive.biz which they get them from oregonfuelinjection.com and sourceautomotive give you a 1 year warrenty with a tapped pump. I have now had mine for almost 90k miles trouble free. but when i called oregon fuel injection and asked they said 100% to bosch spec all new internal parts. just not always a new electric board. I was told they replace the electric board by a stamped date?? so it true that doesn't factor in heat cycles that have or could of effected the electrical board.. but with all that said i do have over 90k miles on my vp.

I should note I have not replaced mine yet, but after all my research, the extra money for a BlueChip is worth it to me and what I will buy come time....

DTT carries the cheap Czech repaints, FYI, so you might avoid them.

When I bring the pump to the shop on Saturday I do have many questions that will be answered to my liking. And all the info I have received from my fellow members is PRICELESS!
