Fuel pump Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

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.

my car had a similar problem, mk2, but still a vw. turns out the relay works killer, my problem was a combination of the main pump going bad and some very very bad corosion in the fuse box.

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.
