Recommended pump builders?

Hit the end of the road for these stock 5.5mm elements. Already turned up the full load screw and messed with the torque capsule as much as I can and retain an idle that comes back down. She gets to 60MPH in the 9sec range and does 2nd gear brake stands so it's *improved* compared to other slow poke Benz's but it's time to really light the fuse. I've got an HX35 staring at me with a damaged compressor wheel; a billet wheel upgrade and rebuild kit sounds fun but will do me no good without the additional fuel.

Can anyone comment on personal experience? Looking to have my injection pump upgraded with larger elements and external ALDA. It looks like the options are to send it to the UK (DPUK), Sweden(Dieselmeken), or have the parts installed and calibrated here in the US(in which case I could get elements from either). Does anyone here have a say in which source is best for elements/parts? I know there is some animosity between those two for *reasons*. Anyways... located in the Midwest if that helps any.
