Fuel Pump Problem

[steve-gers]

I ordered a 255lph fuel pump from tuning developments as my car is going there to get mapped on the TD04 on friday. Today I went out to fit it and when I pulled the old pump out, it already has a Walbro one fitted. I would imagine that the Walbro unit is a 255lph one but is there any way to tell if it's less? Also would I be better fitting the tuning developments one or will the Walbro one be fine as it's only 2-3 years old?

Walbros are noisey, and if youve already got a new one id fit it just for peice of mind dude

[steve-gers]

tbh it's not noisey at all in my car, probably would be with the seats out.

[morgey]

Even if you run under quarter a tank?

Mine i can hear through my seats, 3 jackets, 2 blankets a sleeping bag and a duvet when i get low on fuel lol

Nah, can't hear mine at all even when it is low. Think I will just leave it in and take crimping pliers + connectors with me and if it needs the TD pump then I will stick it in down there.

There should be a part number on the side of the pump if I remember correctly, this corresponds to its flow rate. I think they do a 195 and a 255, but can't remember the part numbers off the top of my head.

Cheers mate, maybe google can help me find the part numbers.

I'm sure its GS**** Something but not sure lol.

[steve-gers]

It's a GSS250 so that's 190lph not 255lph. Will that be ok for a TD04 @ 1bar or will it need the 255lph?

[AdamB]

The 255lph is rated to something like 450bhp, you should be ok mate. If in doubt change it

It will be shown up in mapping if the fuel pump is good enough for the job.
