bosch 044 pump

[my4ATEurV8]

just a little short on cash right now so i was wondering if i can run a bosch 044 fuel pump without an aftermarket intank pump? can i run the 044 fed by the stock in-tank pump, or even without an in-tank pump? ifso how do i do it?
this is for a 95 tsi awd

You can use the 044 with the stock intake, no problems there. If you want to keep the 044 external without an intake pump you would need to "sump" the factory tank. You should have plenty of fuel for your setup with the 044 feed by a stock intank.

you can also make atube that fits inside the tank that takes the place of the stock pump with the sck on the end and run it external.

Bosch's are not designed to self prime against gravity. You will severely risk overheating the pump.

will running the 044 fed by the stocker deliver more fuel than a single intank 255 walboro

Why not just wait... save up until you have enough money... then do it properly

you can get a cheap used Walbro 255 for $40-$60

ABSOLUTELY! (the below graph shows the bosch 044 compared against a "modified" in tank 255, and an external 255)
