Geoff Bleyseng (Bleyseng) would be the one to ask.

Geoff is heading out of the country very soon, if not already, for a month or so. Better hurry!

With the cost of MPS' close to a grand, I would look for good used ones. I bought a NOS one (no box) at a VW show for $5.
You could buy an aftermarket FI controller for way less than a grand.
I believe I read that the rebuilt ones use a different metal for the diaphram, and don't respond quite the same as the original ones.

If you can wait a couple of months....there is something HUGE on the horizon.

Rebuild MPS units are available. I got one through my local VW aftermarket parts supplier. The cost was around $180 and there is a healthy core charge. If you can't find one anywhere else, call Cramm Foreign Parts in Omaha, 402-731-7098, ask for Phil and give him the part number off your old unit. If that does not work PM me and I'll give him a call.

I had a new one last year. Was very expensive and only lasted a week before the diaphram broke. It was made in France. Sent it back and had Geoff rebuild one for me. It's still working like a charm. If I recall, I thought he said the rebuilt ones by Brett Instruments are calibrated to 1.7 specs.. He can retune it as he did with mine.

im geoffs son and he is out of town for 2 months, i can recalibrate a mps if need be. i dont think we have a bunch of good cores if you send out a un-useable mps. the ones we rebuild have the orginal parts inside (of course in good working order) so there is no problems with that. if your interested dude pm me

http://fuelinjectioncorp.comthese people bought out brett instruments, and I had a long discussion about mps's with a gentleman there. He said they almost perfectly replicate the original diapragm, and we both agreed that the copper/Be diapragm was much better than the steel ones.
