i'm using one and it works very well. nice satisfying whine when ign key at 2, and don't really notice it when driving (3 in system : )
must be doing good as i can thrash the car with 1/4 tank or less and have no boost issues. (car was sometimes only giving 0.5bar)

I've had a number of 'Walbros' in vehicles which have either not held pressure after power down and tested at much less than 255LPH.

Can't talk for other manufacturers pumps, but being as it's an engine critical component then I'd buy a genuine Walbro £70-90, or something of that caliber.

I got a HRC 255 lph fitted to my 05 STI as part of an upgrade and remap. Its been fine thus far with my new setup. The HRC fuel pumps are supplied with 2 year warranties, as opposed to only 1 year with the Walbro's.

Also there have been some good reviews about the HRC pumps.
