    Default New fuel pump

    Lately my car has been a bit sluggish and ive come down to the fuel pump must be getting old and such

    so im thinking of getting a new one but the question is

    should i get a standerd boosh etc one

    or go for the bigger upgrade WALBRO one ?


    In a year or so time i will be bolting on my supercharger so i will need to upgrade the fuel pump anyways


    but yeh is it worth upgrading it now while it needs doing , or get a normal one and do it later on ?

    A Walbro pump is only about $140 (or thereabouts). It's more rooting around to change it again when you do mods so I'd just chuck one in now. That's what I'd do anyway.

    1: I'd be willing to bet your fuel pump is not the reason your car is sluggish, they don't tend to cause that. When fuel pumps die they generally just die, kaput, no motor worky.

    2: Not a fan of walbro's and unless you have some serious mods the stock pump will work fine and best. Bosch are far more reliable than walbro IMO
