Do I need a Walbro 190?

[streetdsmpwr]

I have a stock T-25 on 16 psi. I am planing to finish out my set-up with a RRE Downpipe and an Apexi N1 Cat-back. Other details on my setup are on my profile Will a 10ga fuel pump re-wire be enough to support this setup or should I put out the $90 for a Walbro 190? I am not planning to upgrade my turbo any time soon.

If you plan on upgrading the T-25 then get the 190lph. I'm shocked that you are using a FMIC with the T-25 however.

Well I'm planning to go bigger eventually, whether its a FP Big28, Big 16g, or even bigger. I want to max out this turbo and get all the supporting mods I need before upgrading the turbo. Plus I don't have the money to upgrade my exhaust/fuel and get a new turbo at this time. Also I got the ETS intercooler 20% off.

I'd install a Walbro 190 for a peace of mind but that's me.

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with the Walbro 190 so I can support a bigger turbo when I get one and they're pretty cheap.

definetly get a wablro, either 190 or 255. and re wire kit. its better to be safe than sorry! but if it was me go bigg or go home go 255 and re wire.

If your going to get a wally 255, your going to need an afpr kit. If you go with a 190 pump, you can use your stock fpr. I would even suggest going with an evo fuel pump that is re-wired.

So how much more flow is the 190 over stock? What about the Evo over 190? I installed a 190 today, and the car seemed to be slower without any other way to put it.

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the Evo pump flows more than the wally 190. I believe that you need some kind of fuel control/tuning for your pump to function properly. Your car might be running rich because your ecu is still sending the same signals to the new pump as it did to the old one making it pump more fuel than you need.

You know I found that it hits 16 psi,a nd doesn't drop past 14 till red line though... I been working 18 hours a day for 2 months. Its all I can do to get sleep for work the next day. Where I been working, they own your soul! Who needs sleep, hell I haven't seen my kids in four days! .

Now I can get that boost test done, my trims are 138/123/127, I seen my o2 flat line today too. I got a Porter Cable pancake compressor today. As soon as the Artic winds die down here, I'm going at it!
