jackherer 543 Posted April 9, 2007 The standard pump will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey G 3 Posted April 9, 2007 It should be fine. Stu's Mi was rolling roaded at 169bhp and that was running the standard pump. When i checked the fueling it tailed off slightly at the top end but that could have been something else. I think the GTi-6 still runs 3 bar of fuel pressure. We put a motorsport pump in our rally car and it wasnt too expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dixon 1 Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) I've been using the standard pump in mine for the last year, but I suffer from fuel starvation with anything less than 3/4 of a tank! But I assume an uprated pump wont help this anyway? Edited April 10, 2007 by Dixon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We fitted a motorsport pump out of piece of mind more than anything but if you have fuel issues to start with maybe your pump is a bit worn at the same time. A fuller tank makes it easier for the fuel to get into the pump and push it forward to the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dixon 1 Posted April 10, 2007 Cheers, will hook it out and give it a clean up and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
