Hi mate, you fitted the ARC TMIC yet?

Good idea to fit the Walbro, as your one will be getting tired and may deliver inconsistent fuel supply - not good. The fact that the Walbro will be brand new AND have upped flow rate will give peace of mind on that front.

The OEM FPR is fine in coping with the extra flow of fuel of the Walbro, so an adj.one is not required.

What are your modding plans, though?
