   be pointless uprating the fuel pump when theres no reason you need anymore fuel, peolpe only uprate the there fuel pump when serious mods have been done . e.g. turbo, supercharger or throttle boddies, you wont see any gains in performance wise, would just be a waste of money tbh

   I was being sarcy lol
   
   Personally wouldn't waste my money on an uprated one when the standard one is more than good enough for your car.

   Why not just do the dials??? surely putting the mk2 pump wont do anything? and uprating it to put more petrol in would just make it run shit? Surely you'd then need some kind of remap done to it which again will cost a coulple hundered..?

    mk2 dials dont work with anything off a mk1 though - dont forget to change the water temp sensor, speedo sensor, and your ecu for the rev counter will need changing too
    
    joking

    Honestly mate don't bother with the fuel pump. Save yourself the time and effort required to change it!
