fuel pump question

I think pump on my 04 sti is starting to go out would It be better to just upgrade to a walbro pump or replace with an oem one?

Currently running TBE and cobb stage and looking at getting bigger injectors and turbo down the road

I'D say for the price, you might as well. If you going to be a HOrsepower freek, like running a bigger turbo, its necessary to get the supporting mods. Unless you find a used FP that usually is cheap, go with what your wallet tells you

If you're gonna upgrade down the road, why do the job twice. I would just go ahead and upgrade. It's a fairly cheap job to do yourself.

Kind of silly not to upgrade since you already have plans.

DW or Aeromotive. These are the new 300 lph pumps on the market. I've just received my Aeromotive but haven't installed it yet.

edit: I got mine from Dustin at Injected Performance. He's offering both the DW and Aeromotive ones for $169 shipped to Hawaii.
