Default What Fuel pumps do you reccomend?

Ok so i'm caught in a bit of a dilemma here, I was originally going to get a walbro 255 but then after researching a bit i saw that they tend to drop off quite a bit, would it be sufficient enough for my setup? I'm wondering if it would be worth the money or should i just go with a 044? This is my daily driver and i don't really want to hear a lot of noise from a fuel pump and i have heard the 044's give off quite a bit and are 4x the price of a walbro.

So with that being said, should i do in line or in tank?
I want your guys opinions.


I have, 830cc injectors, 5857 precision turbo.
I wouldn't imagine id be making above 400awhp

That's a sweet deal!
Redline is always looking out for me.

I bought my 044 used for 100 bucks, the ring was overpriced but still not too much. Took like 20 minutes to install. So for like ~$160 I had my setup that most companies try to get like $400+ for.
Walboro's are good, especially if you knock out the center section to allow more flow. Made 522awhp on low boost, pump gas, and no meth in the evo with that setup.

well money is the huge factor now. i lost my highish paying job in december, so the build has taken a back seat. but i was able to pick up some cheap turbo parts recently. i got a 2871r, borla exhaust, atp downpipe, oil and coolant lines, and atp fuel rail for $1000, all used. i really only need about $2000 more to put it in, and i graduate next month so ive already been applying for something that pays more than $10 an hour. i sold my borla exhaust cheap, for 250 to a local guy, and had an exhaust shop bend up 3 inch for me for 150$. but here is how she sits now...

the nice thing about not having enough money to buy the things i need is it gives me enough time to look for decent deals on stuff, hence how i found the walbro 255 from pag parts. im still buying things, but pretty slowly. hows your car running?

That's awesome! Looks sweet. I bet you will be pumped once you've got that thing in your car.
Mines running good. i'm just starting to add supporting mods to squeeze out the hp is should be making, and i figured its important to upgrade from the stock fuel pump.
And i still am learning about eurodyne.
