Reviews of Bosch fuel pump

I finally got the new, correct pump installed and the Rabbit lives again!

After wiring the fuel pump relay terminals together to bypass the relay entirely, after 40 miles of heading back towards Arkansas it died on me again with the exact same behavior as before.

The Bosch 044 that I am running has a running pressure of over 72psi... over double what the Digi system requires, and I have had it installed for a little while (factory FPR) and no problems.

Learn from my mistakes. :facepalm: Although as shown on the link above that Bosch lists this pump as for the Mk4 R32... it is not correct. Some things you don't notice until you are halfway through the job.

I installed the Bosch pump and a new fuel filter. 50 miles later the Bosch pump died. I was not beating on the car. Just cruising down the street doing 30 or so and bam, no power. I was able to return it and get my money back.

I can't even hear my 044 but the Walbro my buddy has in his Evo is LOUD. Mine is wrapped in sound deadening material and that was enough to kill the whine.

my 044 is horribly loud, changed the way I felt about my car (& I have a V1 w/ cogged belt no less). Mounting creatively will keep the hums/vibes down.

i just got my bosch 044 for free from my freind . and it wasn't that loud, you could here it at idle but it wasn't bad at all. for the new build

My Bosch is loud, but I love the fact that I know its working

I have a walbro now.... and just got my new bosch 044 in saturday.... Replacing the walbro with the 044, due to its capability to flow more at higher fuel pressures(boost).
