hi chaps back again. Made some progress with the turbo work. Engines built, turbos on short runners on engines back in and gearbox is rebuilt with a LSD installed. Now its time to do the fueling. Im aiming for 450ish bhp and was wondering what my options are. I want to keep my standard fuel tank in the mk3, should i opt for a walbro 255 intank pump? Or a bosch 044 external pump with a standard low presure pump in tank feeding the 044? Are there any other options? To be honest with you im after the most simple installs as this project has hit one snag after another. Any help or suggestions welc

Looks like a walbro 400 is on the cards when i get some spare time ill pop it on and let you chaps know what the fitting was like, I remember stealth racing supplying a "kit" which consisted of a bit metal ring which the pump sat in and people only being able to run a minimum of 1/4 tank. Is this going to be the same?

M33 VRG- will see You there!!

I have 2 pumps but don't know what they are! Problem when you get someone else's project! I have a custom fuel cell and allegedly a Motorsport pump in it and another one pulling fuel to an external swirl pot. all I can say is that when the external one kicks in that's all I can hear, start up is great as you can hear the priming before as key turn bit don't expect to hear any music until your rolling! I would suggest measuring what the turbo requirements an comparing it to your current fuel pressure reg standard odb2 is 3 bar and I believe that some odb1 run a 4 bar one let us k

Walbro 255 in tank is more than adequate for your application. If your goals change the walbro 400 is good for 1000bhp. At no point would I ever recommend fitting an Bosch 044. They are noisy, outdated and more effort than their worth. By the time you have one installed your £300 in on a genuine pump, swirlpot and pipes. Walbro 255 = £75 Walbro 400 = £120 Job done.
