    Anybody have any recommendations ?

    Trying to stay away from Walbro, I like their specs. But I hear they're garbage.

    My fuel pump is taking a shit ATM.

    Tia for any recommendations!

    IMO a problem is too much "beef", even supercharged we do not need much more pump so the Wally 190lph seems sufficient. But that said, I'm partial to DW pumps, for us the dw200 would have similar fitment as putting a Wally in, but the flow of a Wally 250 I believe. I have a DW300 in the IS300 and it has been great, and quiet compared to Wally. Another pro to avoid Wally is the DWs are flex fuel friendly if u get the e85 bug.

    AEM, aeromotive and a number of others all seem to get their pumps from the same supplier but I like DW, they actually did stress tests before releasing it.

    Awesome, thanks for the info. Stress test and quiet; I'm excited to here that.

    Not that I need a 200lph pump. Just a robust pump.

    I'm in the land of Range & Basin and there's no flat ground here and im around 2K lbs over a stock double cab. So I'm not surprised my pump is calling it quits (at least I hope that's my issue) after 120k miles.

    Should the DW have fit and form similar to the stock pump? Or do you believe I should invest in any adaption hardware?

    I've read good things about AEM for sure, though I've never run one. I ran a few walboro 190 and 255. One or two of them would buzz/whine after running them on the HWY for a while. Others didn't...it was hit and miss. FWIW, I'd recommend AEM.

    I have the Walboro 190 fuel pump that came with the 7th injector...seems to do its job just fine (been installed for over a year now) but my god does it whine loud when it's hot.

    If I we're to do it again, which I might in the near future, I'll go AEM most likely

    DW200 has same fitment/shape as the 190 so I would invest in what the Tacoma 190 tutorials mention.

    Yeah my Walboro is weird, sometimes on a trail it gets so loud it almost sounds like it's screaming, other times I'll be wheeling all day and it won't make a peep. Been like that for over a year and no issues a far as fuel delivery, but it does get annoying when it's loud.

    I hadn't considered DW pumps but I'll look into them

    I'm running an AEM 320 and its been just fine. My stock one was fine also, and is honestly probably just fine for even moderate turbo builds.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    The Wally's are trash, they've been going downhill since the 90s. The Aeromotive 340 is a real gen though, it's quiet and performs well.

    Toyota fuel pumps don’t usually give up at 125,000 FYI they usually go the distance

    I have a fueling issue. A new pump is cheap enough. Hate to throw parts at it. Hopefully it's the pump. I've exhausted all other diagnosis.

    Should be easy enough to check with a fuel pressure test, I’m sure you checked the fuel regulator and vacuum to it and the fuel filter.

    Still got your tacoma? I haven't been following up on your build but hopefully you worked out the kinks.

    Filter is a year old. Haven't tested the regulator.
    AutoZone rent that kinda thing?

    They do rent a fuel pressure tester, but you'll have to tap a rubber fuel line to read the pressure. From my research you'll be looking for 38-43 psi

    Yeah I figured I'd have to monkeyrig it. Stupid as it sounds I'd rather swap pumps and/or buy a new pressure regulator than bother testing it.

    Thanks for the pump recommendations guys I'll look into each of what was mentioned.
