   Want to upgrade fuel pump on my vts what's a good one to go for? Is it a easy job to do? Just swap the whole pump over? Cheers.

   surely bigger litre cit/pug pumps will do the job?

   Walboro 255 in tank pump is fine up to about 300bhp. Easy to fit.

   To fit? Call it an hour or so. Whip out pump and swirl pot from tank (15 mins), fit new pump (fiddly-ish if you've never done it before, call it 30 mins) then refit (15 mins).
   
   Sorted

    Thanks for help, would it actually make any difference? Few people said upgrade the fuel pump obviously off better fueling and I've got full exhaust system what not long been on and they say it will backfire/pop like a bitch??
