Jamesy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi Dave If your full bpu you'll prob find your fuel pump has been upgraded to a walbro already. If you know it hasnt its a good idea to upgrade. The walbro is perfect for bpu and is rated to around 550hp. The bosch 044 is much bigger and is used in most single turbo cars ....

David Reid Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The only disadvantage of my 044 is the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 BPU J-spec fit a GSS342 Walbro pump as they are straight swap, the Bosch 044 pump is a lot bigger and needs a bit of tinkering to fit the stock pump hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I had the Walbro GSS342 on my bpu running just over 400hp and it was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The walbro is perfect for bpu and is rated to around 550hp. Yep .. It's rated 390rwhp, so should be fine for BPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 i thought the uk oem was more relable than the walbro ? The stock UK pump flows more than the Walbro, it will not fit a J-spec hanger without bodging it, so you would need the UK hanger as well.
