new fuel pump
i am looking to buy a used aftermarket pump for future upgrades (03 sti) ie walboro 255.
does the pump come as it is or should it have some sort of other attatchments as ive seen some advertised with some sort of filter attatched.
thanks bob

should come with a fitting kit,at least my classic version did,and they are apparently interchangable.... use the original subaru filter not the walbro item.... walbro is smaller and might cause fuel pick up problems on low fuel/cornering situations...... otherthan that its a very straightforward mod to carry out

think the wiring issue was with some classic kits that didnt have the correct wiring harness supplied. I know I got one of these,(bought brand new from a reputable company) apparently these kits were imported from the states, but it was straight forward to make a connector anyway.
