The Bosch will flow more especially at higher rail pressure and is generally more reliable. However , if you decide on a Walbro go for the 450

The 450 only comes as an in-tank pump I thought? I'm pretty sure the 255s are the largest external pumps they sell, which I have on my car, but I haven't driven the car in years and it was just a stock S so I was no where near the limit.

If you can afford it, get the Bosch, if you want to save a few pennies get the Walbro. Refresh951 has the Bosch on his 3.15L build and I think he just now hit the limit at around 490whp (though there could be other factors involved in that too, like too small plumping etc.)

580.254.044 will work great and leave some head room for future upgrades on 93. Make sure it is not a chinese "knock-off" I would buy it from here:

http://www.jayracing.com/fuel-pumps-...-040-p-11.html

Great price ($180) and it will be a legit 044 pump.

Jay racing also makes an 044 upgrade pump that has a great reputation in the turbo forums but they are sold out at the present time. Rogue told me about these guys.

Eric has a great install procedure:
