I've used the Walboro 255 with stock lines/regulator and an analog fuel pressure regulator gauge right in the engine bay. No spikes, even when the pump is "hotwired" and the engine is off.

Pros: no pressure spikes

Vehicle: Mitsubishi

Eu tenho um gol 2001. As \u00fanicas manuten\u00e7\u00f5es esse ano foram a correia dentada que troquei preventivamente, e a bomba de combust\u00edvel que travou. Muito pouco pra um carro desse ano.

Pros: troquei correia dentada

Cons: bomba de combust\u00edvel travou

Vehicle: Volkswagen Gol

I've only had one warranty issue, a fuel pump was acting up. Didn't strand me or anything but was causing a rough idle due to cuting out one time. Restarted the car and it was fine, took it to the dealer anyway and they replaced all the fuel pumps under warranty.

Pros: replaced under warranty

Cons: fuel pump acting up

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Took great care of my Passat. Recommended oil change interval 10k; I changed every 6k. All oil and fluid changes at the dealership. I only did the filters, spark plugs and serpentine belt.

Problems -

Purge valve has to be replaced at 40k (warranty)

Control arms at 45k (warranty) + alignment

Fuel pump at 62k ($1600)

Entire cooling system replacement at 64k ($3100)

I believe hot weather and cheap plastic causing more harm to this car.

Pros: oil changes at dealership

Cons: fuel pump, cooling system

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 62000 km

Cons: fuel pump exploded
