Uprated Fuel Pump - to supplement RS Stage 4

NOTE: I have temporarily hidden all other posts from the past on this blog - a certain person seems to be using my blog as a "shopping list" to build his own car. STOP COPYING ME you unimaginative weirdo. I've left the RS Stage 4 conversion list for you to start saving your pennies. 



Back to BD Performance this week for their uprated fuel pump. Definitely not a DIY job, as the fuel tank has to come off to access the pump. The BD solution upgrades the actual pump inside of the ST housing so it reads correctly on the dash, something I was 100% adamant on. The pump comes with a new pick up filter too, the original was a little dirty after only 35,000 miles. The car now feels much smoother when driving around at lower revs, and coming back from BD down the A500 I can tell the car is certainly stronger for having it fitted especially higher in the rev range.

Couple of pictures:

Tank off...

...and pump removed, the housing disassembled, new pump installed and filter added...
