I'm also running a 044, they're an excellent pump that can support a heap of HP.
You hear good and bad things about the Walbros, I think they're in the same boat as the Bosch pumps.....if you buy a genuine pump, they're fine. But there's HEAPS and I mean HEAPS of cheap copies out there. A lot of people don't even realise they own a cheap copy.

so how do i know if the pump is genuine. don't really wanna travel to auckland from whangarei just to buy a fuel pump but all the ones on trademe are *GENUINE* which pretty much guarantees that they are crap. unless there is a way to tell? or even better, unless someone knows who to buy from?

I got mine from an online store based in Qld. I cross referenced the pump number with what Repco supply. There is no real way to tell if it is genuine until you get it. Mine came in a yellow box with bosch printed in red all over it. Also the pump has " Made in Czech Republic" stamped on it.
Here is a link for a genuine pump

Here is a link for another (non genuine) pump

I was quoted $475 from Repco, so $220 is an awesome price.

I'm running a factory FPR but I don't see any harm using an after market one if that's the way you want to go. Get a rising rate one if you can. As for the pump I just replaced my buggered factory one with the 044.crshbndct wrote:do i need a different fuel pressure regulator or something with this?
