I had mine fitted along with an uprated manifold so cant comment on what gains just the fuel pump gave. But i can certainly feel an on the road difference, which is what it is all about at the end of the day. Car feels alot stronger at higher revs and feels like its not tailing off as much as before once you go over 5k

Right , just out £25 worth of V-Power in the car today and the fuel guage would usually go at the least above half a tank, but it rose to in between 1/4 and 1/2 a tank so i got the same problem :(

You have to take the unit off the Ibiza pump. I couldn't be bothered so I just threw it in with the LCR sender unit on!

I will have to take it back out soon though so I'm regretting the decision already!

Easy job to swap them over?

Where is the fuel pump actually located? Is it underneath the rear seats or around that area?

My fuel guage does not go up that high when i put fuel in, but the trip computer seems to give the correct reading, also the fuel needle does drop very slowly
