Which fuel pump?
Im nearly ready to get a few bits fitted to my94 wrx and then have it remapped.Im not sure which fuel pump to buy?Im going to be aimming for around 500bhp by the end of the year.
I know the bosch will do the job with no problems but its over twice the price off a walbro 255?
Whats the max power i could run the walbro with 800cc injectors?
Thanks for any advice!

Are you intending sticking at 500 or developing the car more. If your sticking at 500bhp as Duncan says the 044 will be fine if you are looking at going beyond that it may be worth looking at two bosch 909's which will build in redundancy and the cost of two 909's is not much more than a single 044.
Another factor you need to consider is the current draw of the pump and the standard wiring. The walbro 255Lt pump will use a max current of around 9 amps which the standard wiring will cope with. If you go to a 044 the max current draw is 15.5 amps which you may well see at full boost. When I went to a 044 I rewired the pump power feed with larger gauge wire to cope with the extra current. The max current of a 909 is 10 Amps but if you are running two you are unlikely to see max current draw unless you up the power and fuel requirements. So in reality you will prob see a similar max current from the two 909's as you will with a single 044.
Just food for thought

Cheers for all the advise.
It has given me something to think about.Im going to go for a single 044 as that will do the job just fine.I will be getting enginetuner to fit it for me aswell as a few other bits,so i dont have to worry about the wiring ect.
