fuel pump challenge
I offer a challenge to all the vendors on this site........The first vendor that can provide proof that their in-tank fuel pump (walbro 255l) utilizes metal gears (impeller) and have it ready to ship ill buy from them. I also have a catch, they must have a cc stage 4 clutch at a reasonable price ready for shipping. Ill buy asap with paypal or credit card.

Here is your clutch.

With the 5% discount, it's only $371 shipped. I'm getting that clutch installed in 2 weeks. They don't sell Walboro pumps though

So buy the clutch now, get the clutch, install the clutch and look for the fuel pump in the process. 
I can't wait til I get my clutch installed and get back up to 300-320hp. Stock clutch and slowboostmode = ____e.

That's why I dropped the boost down to 6psi and pulled some more timing. I couldn't even hit boost in 5th gear when I was on 12psi, the clutch would just burn up. Once the clutch goes in, I'm having PTuning tune the car for 10 or 11psi, going to break into the 300's(340DynoJet/350DynaPack). I don't really want to, but I'm throwing another $1900 at the car for the clutch, install, tune, boost controller, kami wing/bumper...I just want to 'finish' it lol.

It will be, everything else I 'want' to do costs way too much...Advans+tires, coilovers, etc...the crap I'll never make use of. I'm getting rid of the car in 1-2 years anyway, so I need to put an end to the modding somewhere lol.

chris ptuning is working on their return fuel system w/ antifuel surge, if you could wait on it a lil bit thats great.. and get the clutch together.. but there's a new ACT clutch that came out, a stage 5 but still a disc style instead of puck.. good clamping w/ driveability!

maybe dezod is the way to go.. so far i think its only them that offers a walbro fp w/ install kit for the tc, and you could ask paul if the act clutch the he brought up is already available..

they arent the only ones that offer an intank walbro 255lph for our cars but im afraid that ima have to take a chance. i thought that a vendor would speak up by now. stage 5 seems way too much clutch, stage 4 is still over kill but i do have aspirations......lol

^^ valentines hangover i dont think theyll be here till tonight at least lol.. but with a disc clutch i was assuming it more DD friendly than a puck stage 4 but i could be wrong..
and oh who else sells fuel pump for the tc, most i see are universal kit and dezod just made an install kit for ours
