El is going to think I'm mad, but I paid Mitsubishi 3 hours labour to fit mine and it came to around £300 just for the labour!!!!

I know mate - But I couldn't find anyone else that was willing to do it in time for the 4th Dec, so I had to take it to the stealers - They did change my gearbox oil in that price to and fuel filter!! :sad:

Had to be done - Once Russ has mapped it - I've achieved what I want to do to the car, but there are a few other little bits a bobs that need doing like sterring rack, rear anti roll back, etc - Which I would like you to do it time please mate.

Cheers,

the 'naughty' way of fitting it is quite easy to do yourself, although not really something I would personaly recommend due to safety issues if not done properly.

naughty way = cutting the fuel pipes, so no need to drop the fuel tank.

I had one done of el some time back but can't remember how much he charged me, bet he remembers though:razz::razz:

i was told it had already got a walbro pump in there, but id rather be safe than sorry

take the rear seat base out and have a look if the fuel pipes have been cut (you'll see rubber pipes joining them if so)
if they have then its a ten minute job for you to check the pump, and it will probably be a walbro.

if the pipes haven't been cut then it means you haven't got a uprated pump or it has and has been fitted properly.....so then the only way to check would be to drop the fuel tank to check it.....or cut the pipes:whistling:

 

[Dave Brennun]

He surely must be able to get the fuel pressure gauged to check if it's chuckin out 255?

You can lift the sender out just enough with the pipes still on to check if its a Walbro the stock pumps are a green colour a Walbro will be silver
