sorry dude not going with bosch!!!

hehehe

speaking to my tuner he has told me to go walbro, as he has had more bosch fail than anything, and the only reason the walbro has failed has been if it wasnt installed correctly (not installed by him tho).

my 2 cents about that lol

My 2 cents is (legitimate) Bosch's don't fail if installed correctly for the application IE - with large sock filter and provided decent voltage. Rubber mounting at correct height limits the noise they make and gives you the same usage from your tank.

There's a few threads on SAU and US Supra sites. The 600hp Bosch's fail often because they are sensitive to garbage ingestion… from not using a correct pre filter (OEM style sock, or AM one) As you mentioned, your tuner had Walbro fail due to incorrect installation (prolly ingestion) Dodgy backyarder forum n00bs have given many a product a bad name, quality German f.pumps are just one of em.

I not aware of any EU company's using Walbro's OEM as Porche, Lambo (Audi) and Ferrari do.

Besides... Americans make Walbro's.. nuff said

Jk - in the end, best to go with what the "tuner" He's the one guaranteeing you're a result yah. Tis good to know the history / facts
