Default Can a Walbro 255 pump be used as an external pump?

As above, would it be possible to use a walbro 255 pump as an external pump for a swirl pot set up?

Cheers Banny. Would I be able to use this without having a Map tweak?

I dont see why not as it should not flow anymore being mounted externally, if you've already mapped for a 255. However for peace of mind especially if you're planning on going on track a fuelling check with a wideband lambda would be good

Cheers mate. A map tweak is not the easiest as JGM is the mapper of choice and I live in Glasgow

You need an external pump when using a swirl pot.

my fuel pressure went up 0.3bar when I fitted a bosch external/swirlpot. It was just a case of tweaking it back and then tweaking it up again when I disconnect for normal road use.
I wonder if it helps IDC,
