    Default Internal of External Fuel Pump? Do i really need a surge tank?

    hey guys,

    I need to upgrade my fuel pump, most people recommend getting and external bosch 044 fuel pump. basically i need a new one for my turbo setup, should be making around 200-250rwkw at a guess. So what do you guys recommend? External, internal? or External and surge tank? Do i really need a surge tank for the power i will be making?

    Cheers guys

    i myself would run external with surge tank its allways a good idea when going turbo its what ill be doing as soon as i get my new car and build my manifolds.with the amount of commodores that get the lack of fuel problem while going round corners etc its a safe assurance having a surge tank the last thing you want is to suck air and go lean when its hammering on boost
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
