Well I've never heard much good about the old Walbros so I was nervous about using these. But I haven't heard anything bad about these and they've been good for me so far. I also got two so if one failed I'd still be OK. On top of all that, I have failsafes set up in the ECU using sensors just after the filters so that if I get low or no fuel pressure it shuts the car down. So I have redundancy after redundancy, but I want more safety HAHA. The reason I went with these is because I knew they'd be good with E85. I wasn't sure about AEM, Aeromotive, or the others. I had Bosch 044s that I was going to use but I sold those when I decided to do flex fuel. And now I'm concerned about using E85 anyway haha, I just feel like there hasn't been enough evidence yet that it's OK on the engine. Not to mention the flex fuel sensor doesn't detect water, ugh. I'm just on the fence still. I overbuild each system so that it protects the engine, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'd like to get some fuel pumps that are more known to be reliable that are also good with E85 (just in case I decide to use it eventually) and have a more solid way of connecting hoses to the inlet for this project. I've done some searching but I haven't seen much yet.

Yeah Brian PM'd me haha.
