Default Walbro 255 Fuel Pump - Install

I've been trying to complete the PL turbo install myself and I'm stumped. I did some forward research and found a guide from CJM that says I have to modify the pump using drills/files.

To other Walbro owner's... did you have to do this modification to your pumps?
I will be getting a Return Fuel System installed after I get the kit running.

you certainly dont HAVE to perform the modifications, but it mentions on the how-to what the side effects will be if you do not.

I followed the instructions. It's not all that bad, just make sure to buy the right size drill bits.

Yep found out that the mods are unnecessary but just recommended.

I am still going to do the jet mod but not regulator since I will be running a return fuel system.

Doesn't seem too bad really.

Just need some dremel drill bits, files, and some patience.

The side effect for not doing the jet mod is a higher fuel pressure.

Call your tuner, some prefer that you skip portions of that installation if you're going to run a fuel return system.

I called up Function Tuned and they told me that it's okay to just drive over with the stock fuel pump with 600 cc injector's as long as I don't go into boost.

So.. looks like i'm loading up a powerlab 600cc map then basically granny the car to FT for tuning and RFS install
