About to go stage 2 and I've been advised to upgrade my fuel pump.
What do people recommend?
Mk1 face lift AUQ.

No trouble, just would hope it's a good fitment and not just an ok one lol, makes it sound like it could drop off at some point 
Lol I get ya there about 20 quid cheaper than the sytec from what I can see funny though the Walbro pump is the same as used in a Classic Subaru
You can also fit a 4 BAR S3 pump. You will need to make a small change to compensate for the lack of a second fuel tank (if i remember correctly).
I would probably go with bill as I too am ooking in to going stage 2 and as my car is getting on a bit I thought I would replace fuel pump, looking in to Wallbro people have had pick up problems, Iv found that the Sytec is only about £57 so cheaper than an o.e pump so will be using one.
walbro 255 does'nt "just fit" tho
Sytec one we found is drop in replacement. same form factor..
Seems ok as a replacement unit
I would'nt ask 4bar of it or expect it to support BT power but as an affordable intank replacement its ok
That's cool, we'll if mine fails I'll stick with the sytec as it seems a trusted pump for the cupra as a replacement if mine fails
Sytec say it is a drop in I.e replacement for 1.8t including cupra r's so I can't see why it wouldn't be capable of stage 2, pus being a brand new pump will be a lot stronger than the old pump currently in the car.
My car is a 2002 and before going stage 2 I'm just going to buy the sytec in tank pump.

why have you been advised to change it?
purely for stage 2? - if so how comes a new pump is needed
are they advising as the current pump is performing well?
if so when was filter last changed?

Asking a 12 yo fuel pump to perform at stage 2 is only going to end in tears, better off replacing the pump for the sake of £65 or end up running lean and melting pistons.
