Think it's overkill? They're only a little bit more expensive than a walbro.

What are your power goals?

End result someday 350-400whp

The 320 may provide a little more for future power goals. I think the 255 would probably work as well, but it's up to you whether you want to spend the additional money.

Is the DW pump more reliable? I've read recently that the Walbro may not last....and DW is a higher quality unit??

Any feedback?

I don't see that as a hack at all wash. Hell id love to have more info it as well. Good point to ask. What do you mean the walbro won't last? What did you read/hear about it?

Just that I read a handful- maybe not even a 'statistically sufficient' # of posts to make it accurate-that the Walbro had failed for some owners. It's been over the last year, and I don't have links to the sites. In fact I was like, 'Wow, I hadn't read any negative reviews" and I came across a few.

But if the DW is not that much more, than it may just be worth any premium you pay....having stated that, I have no personal experience w/the DW pump, and have installed 2 Walbros w/out an issue.

I haven't heard any negative feedback on the walbro's, however there may be some manufacturing differences in some recent batches. I know I've never had any issues with mine.

There was a post on here about it as well. So... when y'all bought the walbro's, did they come with the "sock," or can I reuse the one on the oem pump? Mine came without one (used).

I believe it comes with the sock, but I'm not 100% sure. You should buy the WRX install kit, which has everything to make it plug & play. The part #'s for both the proper pump, (you want the 341 pump, not 342) & the install kit are on the bbs. I've posted several times.

Crap - looks like I need that kit, just for the sock. I have everything else.

I have the DW300. It's noticeably quieter than the Walbro I had before, that thing made an awful squealing noise.

I've heard recently that some online retailers are selling knockoff, Chinese-made pumps as Walbro, with the name stamped on and all. I don't know how to tell the difference, but its something to watch out for.

Yeah i was seeing some walbros on ebay for 60-70. I thought that was suspect...
