Reply to "Fuel Injection and Electronic Ignition for VW engines - Speeduino Style"

I just replaced the el cheapo fuel pump with a Bosch 044. What a beast. It's easily twice the diameter of the old pump and makes about 1/3 of the noise.

To amuse my neighbors, I test drove it a block uphill before the 10 amp fuse that was totally adequate for the old pump said "No way, Jose!" I coasted back to my street and pushed it into the garage before it struck me what the problem was. Yep, the 044 is rated at 13 amps. A 20 amp fuse got me started again. Let this be a lesson to you all. Don't let Mike sign off on your test drives.
