Do a quick search for walbro 255, I just done the same when I saw them on ebay, doesnt look too promising, only about 10% better flow if you go by what some of the posts say...bosch seems to be a better recommendation

Not a particularly good pump and l have know this very pump fail,

You can drop an 044 pump in the tank for not much more money and forget it as it will handle anything you should ever need.

I have had no problems with mine, supporting a T78. Depends on your end goal and what you have running in conjunction with it.

That walbro pump is worse than a standard non-turbo pump.Best use a Bosch one.

Hi Jamie,

Whilst we can supply the correct braket to hold it in position if it\'s mounted externaly with this pump all you you need is to mount it in the tank as a replacement for your stock one, you will even find that your wireing screws straight on to it.

We have plenty of 044\'s available for £180 + vat.

Hope this helps.
