i use the walbro 255 without any problem. i am not sure about the regulator. In my case i dont need it because i install the 255 with a vf35 intead of td04

LG, it's irrelevant what turbo you choose to run, if the reg cannot provide consistant pressure you will run into problems.

Komatsu are you local to Essex? If so there's a couple of places in the area that stock the parts you require.

Try Mocom Racing if you are in Essex.

They are pretty near North Weald Arifield (M11/J7 I think)

Just a thing about Warlbro pumps- perfectly decent pumps, but remember they wont flow 255lph unless you can supply them with more than 12v.

Take a look at this:-

As you can see, at 12v the warlbro 255 (model 341) will only flow 225lph at 43.5 psi (ie base fuel pressure). At 1 bar boost it will flow just over 190lph.

If you need 255lph of fuel delivery, you need to hotwire the pump to get the voltage up to deliver it.

Cheers,

Ben.
