Fuel Pump limitation
It really depends on your other mods - the stocl pump is generally capable of flowing enough fuel for at least 325 whp
However, I suggest the walbro fuel pump as an upgrade on all evos getting a flash tune as the walbro pump has been much more stable and safe
I have seen several stock pumps fail by suddenly producing a lower flow rate when hot - a very dangerous condition
ANYONE doing mods on a evo 8 should really do the fuel pump
BTW - evo IX does not need a pump upgrade with stage 1 and 2 - its a new pump which flows more

Agreed..
I have experienced this. Previously I had a full TBE and a tune but no upgraded pump. My EGTs would be fine on the street -- peaking at about 875C. However on the track I found that after about 5 laps I would suddenly see a spike up to 975+. A Walboro solved this problem.
The is for my 03 VIII. I am not sure what pump came on the VII.
Anyone know?
