no what?

I woudnt run an R past 10 psi on stock pump.

with my walbro I have done 18 psi daily, and gone up to 23psi, although I only know my fueling was still good because my A/F was still in the mid to high 11's

044 pushes a little more fuel but if you are going big power and lots of boost duals is the way to go.

Exactly even Atwood told me this a few times

[jmh2002]

I dont think Im running especially big power or a lot of boost (450ps/1.2bar) however HGP still fitted an secondary fuel pump on my car...

[DarkSideGTI]

No.

No to which part? The Bosch 044 is definitely a better quality pump and flows way more volume. I will disagree with whoever said it is just as loud as the Walbro though. I have had both and I will say the Bosch is much much louder than my old Walbro. Every time I have someone riding with me they ask me what that sound is. When I had the Walbro, which was installed in the bay, I could not even hear it running. Hoepfully I can find a spot to install the IE 044 surge tank to quiet this bish down.

[JDM-JTI]

hah i dunno why tom said no .. I have the bosch 044 and he knows that .. and tom works DIRECTLY with jeff so he knows whats best for the car .. and when i say directly .. i mean jeff has a bay right next to toms shop

Ideal location is still in the back of the car right?

[DarkSideGTI]

right before the fuel filter.

Well, it does no good now. But i bring to the table these pics, of my car with andys(ocaf) old setup. Same situation your in with the 4" inlet. Fit easily. Running an eip ram horn, with the turbonetics turbo.





Don't mind the cluttered pics... early stages of my build haha. No powder coat yet. But all i did was buy non reinforced 90* 4" coupler, a 90* 4" bend, and the rest is straight. I may add a 45 or similar bend to bring it away a little from the strut tower. Just posting to show its possible.

keeping the stock intake manifold?

[Rmeitz167]

keeping the stock intake manifold?

Yeah for a little while atleast

[huichox4]

you have upgraded engine mounts? the intake looks like it is almost touching the break fluid reservoir and with the engine moving there you might break it or something??

Bfi stage 2's. Worse case is it rubs that coupler. At $30... Not worried.

[Rmeitz167]

Does the snake right around it haha

You and me both! I want a shave bay so badly.

[JDM-JTI]

id like to get some motor mounts ... make em gold like the turbo .. polish the tranny housing and tuck and change up some lines to really clean the bay up

[.:BULLFROG:.]

yup, I'm going to be that guy to bump your thread. Great to see this in person, loved the bay, and loved that it goes beyond the norm

No troubles driving this yet either? I need to start looking into the future

wow thanks man!

great to see that the wheels got on your car just in the nick of time! looks AWESOME!

car gives me no problems whatsoever .. between toms handy work and fabrication skills and jeffs 550 tune, this thing runs PROPER

here is a video that barry took with me driving next to him on the strip



if you want a worry free r32t id say go a similar route with a head spacer and under 20 psi and you shouldnt have any problems ... anything more than that and your transmission will hate you



god damn i was rollin high around the strip .. i did NOT want to bust a pan while in ocean city like a certain other r32t owner did ...

yeah it is def something for me to look into. Originally was thinking of selling the car and going towards something RWD, but after all the work and mileage climbing up, I'd think it be better to keep building. Just need to get rid of the crotch rocket to raise funds.
