I won't bother to reply to "GNVYUS 1"s post 
i think that you are bieng a little harsh here. and i know everyone has the right to bitch but walbro has made a awesome fuel pump that has gone far in the turbo buick world as i am sure with many other applications. so one day they put out a small batch of bad pumps that last somewhere between 4 days to 3 yrs. your going to tell me that is bad business and that they now are branded a bad company and to tell everyone to stay away from them. everyone makes mistakes. i am sure they were all bench tested and passed but its up to us as consumers to report back any if all bad results which i am sure were done but i am sure they were very minor amounts compared to the big picture. as far as your motor it is up to you to create a visual monitoring system to maintain how your fuel system is working not saying you didnt but to beat on your car enough to blow it up could of been prevented by watching. as far as reporting it when you ot guys on here that are new to these cars that dont know how to tune and monitor and you tell them to put in a walbro they think that it is all up to par and never think about watching it because its new and the pump goes bad and they see knock and dont know what to do so they start turning down boost and they still get knock further hurting head gaskets or bearings never reporting the pump because they cant diagnose the problem so walbro never gets all the feedback to take action. so i would say that all the years that they made pumps these very few pumps that were bad is pretty damn good it doesnt and shouldnt scare anyone away. a pump that supports 10's and lower with a little alky and for 99 bucks is pretty awesome. next time keep your eye on your fuel pressure gaugeIt's not an issue to guys like Grumpy because he didn't have one take a dump on him and blow up an engine, head gaskets or at minimum leave him stranded somewhere.
Hard to believe members are cool with companies selling crappy pumps to communities like ours? You realize Weakbroke only found out years later their pumps were crap because far too many members complained about them right, don't believe me, check out how far back the recall goes. Nice quality control Weakbroke.
Best part is Weakbroke pulls pumps off their shelves but don't issue a statement or recall to the consumers. Weeks go by with tons of new threads about members with dying pumps.
Oh, they fixed the problem now, ok, it's all good, pretend it never happened. Let's all support them again because they earned it and there's nothing else out there we can buy that is better and more reliable.
Drink this Vodka and lay down in a bunk bed with this purple cloth over your face and torso. Keep a five dollar bill and three quarters in your pocket and put on a black shirt, sweat pants, brand new black-and-white Nikes and armband patches reading "Walbro Gate Away Team." Everything will be ok people, just wait for the Comet and run this fuel pump.
.. as most people know we DRIVE her car EVERYWHERE!!! We DID have one fail .. Car wouldn't start for me twice .. Car would start again in like 10 min. We thought we had a ground issue so we clean everything and the car seamed ok ..drove it around for a few weeks with no problems .. car ran fine.. then went racing with it .. Car wasn't reacting to changes we were making.. didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out something was wrong.. we stopped racing and drove home .. NO blown engine or headgaskets 
Sometime when ya think something isn't right ya have to dig to find the problem and fix it.. hell we are beating this car to death!!! Melissa has a watchful "eye" on our "tune ups" :biggrin: Can it blow up ??? HELLLLLL YA !!!! If ya have a problem with a PERFORMANCE car breaking GET OUT and get a normal car!! oh ya they break to BUT have warranty's
