Fuel pump ?

[Gary#turbo]

I'm only going to a stage 2 map so it's guna be 250bhp tops 4 me 
Plus what does 5 bar mean on fuel pressure?

standard fuel pressure is 3bar on 150 and 180bhp engines and 4bar on the 225bhp engines
but anything higher than 4bar will put a lot of pressure on the standard fuel pump and injectors and may lead to them failing

So would u say the cupra r pump will be to much 4 a stage 2 map ?
What injectors do u recommend 4 stage 2

your standard pump and injectors are good for 250bhp with no problems

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.

Okay then il probably leave the cupra pump and just upgrade when needed , just thought I'd do it as that's 1 of the things to replace on the r tech guide on stage 2 lol
