ROAD TO 400HP - Turbo Subaru BRZ/FRS/GT86 - Part 5 of 6 (Full Blown Walbro 485 Fuel Pump Install)

Fuel pump upgrade is another fuel upgraded needed when running high boost (10psi+) with ethanol. I strongly recommend the Full Blown Walbro 485 Fuel Pump install (not sponsored, lol). There is a lot of positive feedback in the community with this fuel pump and can't go wrong with choosing it. Like most of my fuel upgrades, they are overkill components, but it is better to have more legroom than maxing out smaller injectors or fuel pumps. Like always, reliability(engine wise) is also my priority, so choosing the best product for important components is always a must. Also a quick and easy install of the Verus fuel starvation door. Usually, at high loads of g fuel tend to cut off and come out the basket which is where this door would come in. It is a straight plug and plays which would help alleviate the starvation problem. Enjoy the high(ish) power BRZ.
