VP finally ate it
 
Ok. Looks like the VP finally bit the dust today. So I need some opinions before I start shopping.
a) Is the Hot Rod VP worth an extra 700 bucks?
b) I know some offer a warranty even if you do tap the pump for the Quad should I go that route or just buy a new VP and risk it
c) are there any tuners out there for an 02 that work through the OBDII port that would let me adjust the fuel without tapping the pump?

These are the questions I had but any input is welcome

Just go with a standard pump. Use a Stealth Cover to tap the wire.

Hot rod pumps are no worth the money. They are just a so pump with the equivalent of a timing box built in. Don't waste your money on it. As for the vp44 tap...you can run your box without the tap if you're worried about warranty. You will still get canbus fueling and timing from the box.

awesome. that is what I needed to know guys. Do I need any special tools to pull that sucker off?

skip the hot rod pump. You can get a nice set of injectors and have more power and reliability than if you had a hot rod pump.
