Okay that's good lol
U
I wud like to replace the pump tho cuz it's dun like 104k n Probs not bin replaced
U think I buy a new pump or the cupra r 1 4 £40 ?

if your going for a new pump then get the walbro its £75 on ebay. the oem pump new would be around £150-£200 I think. As for the cupra pump it might have a lot done and could break. If I was you I would keep using your original and if it gives up then upgrade. 104k on the original is not a lot.

Just to check
Is this the once your on about

I'm started to gather my parts 4 stage 2 map at r tech
In their list of things to do they said to geta new fuel pump
Can anybody tell me if they have a cupra r fuel pump and is it a str8 fit
Also what injectors do I get and wer from
Thanks
 

Hi there buddy, Ive had a cupra r fuel pump fitted for well over 6 months now, I'm running 313bhp and 341lbt done by Mr Nic at R Tech and it runs like a dream  was getting fuel starvation on the standard pump !!!

Took me less than 10 minutes to fit, make sure you buy a new gasket seal for the pump don't use your old one mate and there dirt cheap to buy

I don't no what to do bcuz iv bin offered 1 4 £40 but it's not gonna work as good as a new 1 is it
It been 2nd hand is putting me off
Wer I can buy a walbro for £70 brand new

also if your going for high fuel pressure eg 5bar+ then the cupra pump will break

4 bar is overkill on most so 5 will be useless 

true 3bar is sound on a good map but then again I got around 210bhp with only 5bar fuel pressure and 18psi boost

Is this a joke??! This definitely made my day. I can always trust the forum to provide entertainment!

Seriously though just put the car back to standard.

Depends what engine code he has as to whether maf + injectors are suitable for 250bhp.... AGU will top out at 235bhp for both.

Look at the Sytec P3031 pump, capable of 7bar its a fit and forget pump and seems to be very very popular with those who love to tune at the minute.

Sure you need to have FPR psi value + the boost pressure for the pump to stand up...so in most cases....the fuel pump sees over 4bar?  Could be wrong on that tho.   Have a read into fuel pressure and boost.

Only he's talking about static fuel pressures, 3 bar being mentioned as "sound on a good map". He's running 5 bar static fuel pressure so in most cases the pump is sees over 6 bars? Could be wrong on that though. Have a read into the previous post.
