I was thinking a Bosch 023 Pump..

But the FSE uprated one flows 255 ltrs/per hour as does the Walbro.

The Bosch is only 210 ltrs/per hour. But i think it has a higher flow pressure.

Help....

Bosch 023 will be fine for that. I have had no personal experience of the others, but have heard that they don't perform as well as the figures suggest...

I'm using FSE, it's a direct replacement and no fitting kit required. but we've done a test locally for a couple of brand of fuel pumps, apparently Walbro had the best flow rate

you have to watch the likes of the fse and sytec units , as although these have decent pressure and flow rates they tend to use the original push fittings from the original pump , these fittings cannot deal with the increased pressure and tend to burst the seals under load.... not good if ya on boost at the time eh!!!! could prove quite costly.

i'd stick to the bosch item as these use proper aeroquip fittings and are a much more reliable option!! yes they may be a bit more of a fuk on to fit... but it's definately worth it!!



ya'll need this little lot......





the difference in size to the original is err... fairly noticable!!! lol.......
