It's a good upgrade for mildly modded Turbos, but completely pointless and counterproductive for NA's.

Wow, a 10% to 15% increase in fuel capacity over an FC turbo unit...

Walbro is cheaper (brand new) and outflows the FD unit.

Oh snap...

A Walbro will cost me ~NZ$200, while my FD pump cost NZ$50.

Did something snap? Better fix it...

What they said. All the FD and FC pumps can be swapped around for flow changes. The FD pump is a cheap and easy change for a mildly modded FC and you don't have to deal with things like increased fuel rail pressure that the big Walbro can handle...

Aaron you also say that all motor mounts are the same, the only difference with the vert is the stiffness of the mount. If I buy full comp stiffness mounts they'll drop right in? Thanks!

Correct. The 'Vert mounts are supposed to be stiffer for some reason.
