putting a 16g turbo in my car, 97gst, my mechanic who "specializes in DSM" said 190lph fuel pump is stock. Is this true? he said I must have a 255.

 

Not true... the EVOs have 190s I Dont think the DSMs do other wise have him explain why any aftermarket company would make them for the car??

 

actually i would recommend the 190 over the 255 because the 190 really is sufficient enough for you and the 255 is more of a pain cuz you will have to get a fpr. Sounds like someone is trying to get more money out of you or something

 

stock pump flows 140lph but is really more like 100lph without a rewire job. get the 190 its all you need

 

ya 225 is over kill... this is why i dont like mechanics. Ya its their job to work on cars but sometimes people dont know everything.

 

ugh I hate mis information

THere are two 255 walbros. The high pressure and the low pressure. I ran the 255lp on my 95 GST for over a year w/ the rest of the system stock and had 0 problems. In fact my car ran BETTER. Its just $100 shipped for the 255lp so why not?! Wheres the smack myself in the head smiley when I need it. Sure the 190lph fuel pump would be suffecient for the lil 16g but I know you'll want to go bigger so leave yourself some room to grow and get the 255lph

 

who said he wants a bigger tubo. Not everyone has that kinda money or the time to try and tune with a 255 so why not just go simple with the 190lph

 

wait, so a 255 is a mistake buying?

 

All depends. If you're going to stay stock and never upgrade anything else and the 190 is cheaper then yeah it's a mistake. If you're going to upgrade the turbo eventually then no it's not a mistake. It's part of your supporting mods for an upgraded turbo.

 

Like we said with the 16g you wont need the 255.
