I received and fitted my 4 bar s3 fuel pump (albeit yesterday). Finally matches my 4 bar fpr that came fitted to the car when I bought it... Over 2 yrs ago Haha! Replacing what appears to be the original 3 bar pump by the filthyness of it, which should be well tired by now at 135k mileage and been mapped stg 1 for about 65k of that with a 4 bar fpr

On a strange note, the 4 bar pump is much quieter... Is this common? Struggle to hear it now, used to be obvious...

Your running a 4bar fuel pump on stage 1 ko3? No issues?

Why would it cause an issue? It's the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail that determines fuel pressure. So if it was a 3 bar fpr with 4 bar pump, it would only run at 3 bar.

It's been revo mapped with a 4 bar fpr. Which ran on a 3 bar pump for many a year, no issues.

But ive got a low mileage k03 053 sitting in my kitchen to be fitted. And as its 4 bar fpr anyway I thought it would be better to have a 4 bar pump to match. It's been fitted for a few days. Feels stronger on boost now, makes me wonder if it was struggling for a while.

Remember, if you run a 4 bar fpr on a 3 bar pump your making it deliver 4 bar fuel pressure at idle, if your running 1.5 bar boost then you'll be making the pump supply 5.5 bar pressure on boost!

Hence why running a 4 bar s3/Lcr pump with an 044 Bosch or 255walbro in line with it is recommended for big power big boost applications.

Why would it cause a problem?

I dont know hence me asking...was only thinking it mightve been a pointless mod. Ive got them to fit to mine but was waiting for my stage 2 map.

if your running a 4 bar fpr its worth fitting the pump.
