mk1its Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Guys I've just fitted my EVC V boost controller and I'm all ready to drive the car with the BPU mods complete, apart from the fuel pump. The car is a Jap TT and I do have a fuel pump (uprated) from a member on here however I haven't bothered to change the pump just yet as the car has had some work done on it before my ownership. A very weird type of FCD was fitted so I haven't fitted the HKS FCD that I have. To cut a long story short, is there anyway to check what type of pump I have without taking it out? Or a way of finding out if it's fit for BPU? I understand that if the fuel pump is not fit for purpose, I wont have sufficient fuel at high boost and this could cause big issues? Is this right? If I have to take the pump out, is there an easy way of telling what type of pump it is? I have found a fantastic removal guide on here so I am ready to get cracking if necessary! Thanks for any help. Cheers Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Without physically inspecting the pump theres no way you can tell what it is. And it's say, a Walbro, it will be stamped on the casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1its Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ok thanks for letting me know swampy, I thought as much. I'd already resigned myself to stripping the pump out as soon as its light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1its Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Job done, there was a massive jubilee clip around the plastic nut on the fuel pump so I guess some work has been done there also. Regardless, its now been changed for a Walbro.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
