Iv got. Walbro - woundnt bother tbh.

Seat leon fr is direct fit/s3 something needs blocking off.

Changing mine to a s3 one soon.

Mines running 3 bar fpr

On the s3 the second pick up needs blocking off because they have two pick ups as a result of their different fuel tank.

Also the fuel pump you want is an lcr fuel pump.

In addition, an inline pump doesn't pull air through - no more than your standard pump would because your standard pump will serve as a feed for the inline pump.

You can also modify the swirl pot relatively easily, there's a guide that goes into more detail on here. It works pretty well I might add.

so what your saying is i dont want the s3 pump as it needs a small ammount of modding what i need is the lcr one for a direct fit? (as i think i can get hold of an s3 one)

do they pump the same pressure? (ps i dont know if i will be using a 3 or 4 bar fpr)

LCR pump needs nothing blocking and is 4 bar..

Jaime16v made a guide about fitting a cheap 255lph pump into the standard arrangement and think he was really happy with it..  :smiley:
