T500 questions

[Mollieandgil]

I'm in need of a new hpop, and with Bean's 175's I might as well upgrade the pump. My question is how does it work, buying the pump?

Do I send in my *15 pump and get it back, or do I get *17 pump back? My concern is that for years and years all I've heard and read on forums is that the *15 pump is not desireable for anything other than stock injectors. Do they modify the *15 pump that I send in and does it do what the modified *17 does?

I only want to do this one time.

You can either send your pump in which will be modded to 17* plus a couple of other tricks or you can order a pump that is already modded and pay the core charge until you return your pump. You would just need to let them know that you are returning a 15* pump.

The 15* will need to be modded to the t-500, its no longer a modded 17* it is a t-500.

Is there any benefit of putting a t500 pump on with stock injectors till the injectors get upgraded?

[1Dieselman]

Not really unless your stock hpop is weak but it would be best to have it installed before upgrading to bigger injectors.

i have stage 1 injectors so would a t500 be any large beneficial gain

A 17* pump is all thats needed with stage 1's..

You will notice a differnece on a stock truck with a pump, huge difference? Not really but throttle response will improve as well as atomization of the fuel so a slight mileage increase.

Well, this is moot because I got a great deal on a remanufactured 17* with a brand new IPR. Just waiting on a gasket to get it all back together, can hardly wait.
