Default HRC 255 LPH Fuel Pump???

I know Walbro is well recommended, but has anyone got any kind of experience on this brand

Subaru STI WRX 255 LPH fuel pump - rated to 585BHP on eBay, also Engine Tuning Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 15-May-09 07:14:58 BST)

looks like it can do the same jab, and I have been told is lot quieter aswell.. any advice please?

Someone must of used this pump before? Looks like a walbro clone. there was another one on ebay that looked just like it but called something else £49.95 incl delivery. im sure its the same pump being sold under a different name.

Mate pay the extra and have piece of mind bye a walbo 255
fueling is one of the most important thing on a turbo engine .
for paying less can mean paying more for rebuilding your engine
and thats false economy ?

it does make sense what your saying greek, but thats what this thread is for, to see if anyone has any experience of the product. i would not want to buy one till i had a bit of feedback on it. new probucts have to start somewhere. I wonder with all the walbro fuel pumps out there what would happen if we put a post up asking if anyone has ever had a prioblem with one? i bet you would have a few negative views. So far ive only heard of one person having one and he said it worked perfectly. but one recomendationis not enough.

Better to not be guinee pig for the sake of 40 quid, how can you tell if its the same qaulity without stripping it down? The internals might be cheap tat.

what helped me into buying one is that , the seller has 779 + feedback mostly made up from selling these pumps , also comes with 2 years warranty, aslo looks very similare to the walbro pump , like others have said though it could just be a cheap copy , only time will tell lol.
