Walbro Fuel Pump
Has anyone had any experience either good or bad with the Walbro 255 High Volume Fuel Pump?
What is your opinion of the Walbro Pumps in general?
Your input again as always is highly valued.
Thank you.

Well I ran a 255 Walbro Pump in my 97 T2 for awhile when I was running around 12psi of boost. It did great and never had an problems with it. Still worked great when removed to go back to a mostly stock form.

Search "3800 hesitation" or variations. Its been covered to death. Firstly start by re-doing your factory grounds starting with the main ECU grond (firewall to bellhousing) then move onto re-grounding the pressure sensor (after checking it for a clean sweep) then the TPS for a clean sweep also.

I ran a Walbro, hated it. Went lean above 5500 rpm every time, before and after rewire. This resulted in a rebuild. Went back to the stock pump with no problems. All on 7psi.

Who knows. I haven't had any problems. I have had the pump for about 6 years.

It was a real Walbro, probably a dud.
I have since taken a different stance on fuel pumps. I no longer trust a cheap pump (price wise) on an expensive motor. Now I have a Bosch 044 that I will be installing to feed the upcoming HKS TO4S setup.
