I was able to pull off this conversion on Sunday. Car runs well. Super easy install.
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.
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).
Either pump will do the job but the Bosch is the better piece.
I sold an Airtex fuel pump for a Mk2 GTI that had the factory part number filed off (like the part in the OP), and it had been painted, and you could see where Bosch was printed on it under the paint.
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.
