As jura has said the HRC ones are good my wife has got a walbro pump that she has just brought for her car and I have just brought the RCM one as the quality and profile of the RCM pump is exactly what I need it really comes down to cost and your personal preference as they all do the job well,also don't forget the walbro pump was used by prodrive for there PPP Remaps on the STI.SJ.

I had a walbro in my type 20 and was recommended by Bob Rawle to replace it with a HRC 340 LPH pump.

He told me they are a better pump, much more reliable and with a 2 year guarantee rather than 1 year that comes with the walbro.

Buy direct from HRC and get a better deal or buy from a supplier and they will cost you £175 quid

I collected mine from HRC direct and the guy is a genuine guy with a couple of imprezas, one being quite high powered.

Mine is being used to supply a swirl pot and bosch 044 pump so a bit of overkill but its a spot on setup

I'm not sure I'd suggest speaking with HRC, being recommended by Bob Rawle I would think they are more than compatible.

I know this wont be to popular but the standard pump will run over 400hp, well maxed at 430hp on 20% meth to be exact. Most tuners never get anywhere near that so the reliability factor is rarely tested.

i brought one for mine around 3 years ago they were pretty unheard off on here as searched around and took the chance anyway as was offering 2 year guarantee, only thing i really noticed was there quieter , i paid about £40 back then compared to £75 for the walbro
