Is This True? Unknown, but doubtful. He has not provided any proof of this or any further details to back up his claims. The only reason I am mentioning it is I feel as if everyone should have information available so they can draw their own conclusions. I personally do not think this will be an issue as i've heard nothing but success stories from people who have been running this pump.
Checked my camfollower today after running the b58tu pump for a couple of months at 485whp with e30,
The camfollower looks fine, no damage. I think the damage this guy had was caused by a install error.
I can confirm I never had a single problem with the pump, it always performed like expected.

The b58tu pump works at around 3200psi taper to 2900psi. This is on e30. It just follows the target provided by the ecu. It never goes higher.
