Walbro big enough...?

Hey!,
I've got to grab a fuel pump soon, and was wondering if the Walbro 255lph pump will be adequate for a 13BT running a 60-1 turbo @ ~15psi of boost? Other than that, the car has a 3" turbo-back exhaust, haltech, etc...

I've heard that the pump is good for up to 'around' 400HP, but I just wanted to be sure (I'm shooting for ~380rwhp)

Thanks!,
Manolis

Did you get the low psi or hi psi version? Either one will do but the hi psi version is the one to get!

Actually, Ive heard of people having problems with the high psi one.

also, why do I think of "Mr. Burns" when you say "excellent"?

well, I haven't got the pump yet (I'm hoping GoodfellaFD3S can find his, in which case i'll grab it from him...), so i'm not sure whether it's the hi or low pressure version.

tonyTurboII -- what kind of 'problems' with the high pressure version?

Thanks,
manolis
