How important is gettinga fuel pump, fpr, and a fuel rail when getting a turbo that will not run above 8psi for now. Is it a 'piece of mind' thing or is it needed. I am just trying to cut cost as I am over $6000 already in parts alone for this turbo setup. This is what I am thinking of getting if I really need it:

Walbro 255 ltr/hr high pressure inline pump
Aeromotive FPR
AEM fuel rail

I would appreciate any info.

you dont necessarily needa fuel rail, but you need a FPR. get an aeromotive or AEM unit

what the hell did you spend on with $6000?

Giuseppe

thats what id like to know too...

TurboTypeR98

why would he need the fpr? Is he running a standalone?

Anubyss

Turbo kit, clutch kit, egt gauge, boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, cams, cam gears, springs, retainer, flywheel, 550cc injectors, standalone. So I guess the fuel rail is not really necessary but the fpr is. Just read about the aeromotive being bare bones, and requiring fittings to put in. So, now the question at hand is if it's actually better than the AEM unit.

D-SPEED

yes the aeromotive is better than the AEM.

1fstevo

How you figure?? Automotive is better than AEM.

Anubyss

Does anyone with an AEM unit have or had issues with it? Why is the general consensus that the AEM FPR is bad? I believe this bolts right up to the fuel rail while the Aerormotive unit does not. Or am I mistaken on this matter.

I use to have the AEM unit 1 year now and it is a good part, never had problem with it.
