i did a na-t swap and it's running a little slow. i was wondering if my na fuel pump doesn't have enough fuel for my engine.

considering to run a vehicle you have to get the correct ratio of air/fuel, for a turbo you need a lot more fuel flow to match the increase in air flow. I'm not sure if the NA uses a different pump than the turbo though.

on a stock turbo motor you won't notice. on a built turbo motor you'll have melted pistons, and you'll definately notice!

moral? get a new pump!

the pumps are the same.

replace it anyway. our fuel pumps are up to 20 years old now. walbro fuel pumps are cheap.
