I think the forge actuator just uses a stiffer spring compared to standard that's rated at 12psi

can be a pain to fit and set up mind :/

Re: Anyone fitted a 3" MAF?

mine is surviving just fine with its standard MAF housing, the elements inside should be the same as the S3, (well mine was lol)

i think its only a quarter of an inch off from the size of the tip? can you take it the tip off and soak it in hot water to loosen it up and stretch it in?

Would of thought its ok for ours most decent sellers should sell sleeves for the pump to fit our fuel pump basket, Iv seen our standard fuel pumps running 300bhp. You got a decent fuel filter?

Re: 1.8t fuel pump

yea i am going to get the bosch 044 pump i think!!! i have found this site showing you how to install it, by the looks of it the bosch pump as a fair but thinner compared to the OEM pump and they have this Billet collor around the pump to make it fit snug, http://store.034motorsport.com/blog/034moto...

Re: 1.8t fuel pump

nope, just made it work!!

The car has a K04 015 turbo etc with this that and this, i would imagine a healthy OEM fuel pump would cope with the power the engine can achive perfect, but i wouldnt mind upgrading it rather then replacing it like for like,
