Yes, but Ive run two high pressure pumps on my car (Bosch at the front with push on fittings) and a Walbro at the back. Even better.

Do a search for cheap brand new Bosch pumps on eBay.

The A610 only runs one high pressure pump at the front, and nothing else.

I'll have a look ,thanks .
I have a bit of an issue since fitting the bigger turbo .Plenty of power but it is hesitating when floored .Pretty sure it's not the clutch slipping ,the 2nd gear launch is good :D It is only noticable when I really floor it ,normal driving it's fine .
I will plumb the rising rate reg in and see if that helps first .

Look at what Santa has found :lol: :lol: Anyone want to go halves :?:

Well on the original ECU it will be because you are running lean. Extra fuel pressure will compensate, Adaptronic and bigger injectors will sort it.

When it runs it runs fine .TBH I've not had time to do much with it of late .But the knowledge base is getting larger :wink: It's not the sensor .

Made nigh on 180bhp on an atmo.

You have got me thinking, How does changing fuel pump to, I assume, a greater fuel flow one, increase the bhp on an atmo? Or have I missread your quote somehow.
