ONLY possible draw back is that it is slightly louder than the stock pump
Some cars you hear it a bit and most you dont
Other than that it snaps right into the stock spot with 100% ease
Nino is selling it for $90.00 shipped so I think is cheap insurance
I installed one during the tuning on the 21 Feb 04 and it took care of the problem. Even though the stock pump says that it is rated at that amount you have to consider other variables. Remember, you want parts to run at safe limits not max limits. Thats my opinion.

You could always take out your pump if you had a warranty claim
I am just trying to share some advice based upon what i see on the cars - mostly for the benefit of my customers
99.9999 % of the problems we see on tuing trips come down to the same things over and over, so IF I can get the word out before I get there it just makes things go smoother
The #1 problem areas are boost leaks, bad boost controller instals, leaking of misadjusted bov's, exhuast leaks and bad fuel
Fuel pumps because a real serious new issue on our new tuning trip in the hot 85 - 90 degree Florida sun - out of 6 custom tunes - 2 had bad pump issues - one had a boost leak and one had a bad bov
