Awesome! In case you want to do the wiring upgrade, I’ll be uploading a new video of me installing a Walbro 525 in my XR6 with heavy duty wiring. If I decide to upgrade the wiring on the VL (I’ll inspect for any melted or brittle wiring since the upgrade) I’ll do the same as what the video will show as it’s pretty straight forward. Thanks for watching!
You should be able to. I done a major pump upgrade on my XR6 without changing reg, but the factory reg on those are capable. I’m not sure if you would like to trust an old RB30 reg though. Cheers!
No problems as the original has a lift pump in tank and a high pressure outside of tank. The 255 is higher in spec that it can handle the lifting and sending to the rail no worries. I didn’t upgrade the wiring as the 255 isn’t a power hungry pump. I would if I went for 460/525 which I recently done to my XR6. But the wiring upgrade was simple really.
Great! Thanks. I’m doing this upgrade on my Vl this weekend.

Can i just slap the walbro 255 in without upgrading fuel reg. Itd be more for reliability over the two pumps.

I've ordered fuel reg. So I may re watch this. Thanks
Done fuelpump, about the fuel reg. Are they illegal for a rwc
Rwc? We don’t have that in SA - cant answer that for you, sorry
Have you run into any problems with replacing the two standard fuel pumps with the one Walbro 255? Does the wiring and relay need to be upgraded?

Hi mate what turbo smart fuel reg did you use and has it been working ok for you?
Hi there, I used the TS-0404-1015. And it’s been working good. Cheers
How loud is it ? I have one in my VK and it howls.
It does make some noise, not enough to embarrass me and I have a quiet exhaust
Did you happen to send the Return to the Centre Crimped return on sender?
I used the original location as the submersible hose in tank was still in one piece
