Default Are Fuelab pumps still worth considering.

I see some vendors have stopped using them due to reliability issues. Whats the consensus? Pump speed would be controlled with Eboost 2.

Trying to decide on Fuelab 42402 intank or Magnafuel 4303 external with a cell.

Just did a google search with quite a few bad results. Everyone has thier problems when first marketing parts but I couldn't find many good results. I like the fact that they have built in speed controllers that I could run from an Eboost 2, but dont want to be swapping pumps out.

Go with the Magnafuel and don't look back. Just ask Jordan@National Speed on here and he will tell you about Fuel Lab. He had to replace the pump 2 or 3 times and finally ended up putting an Aeromotive pump on the car.

The very early runs had a couple problems- but nothing that wasn't sorted out. 90% of the time there's a problem with the install- not the pump. On top of that, word spreads like wildfire on a forum. One person has an issue (doesn't matter if it's a defective pump or a bad install) and 15 other people who have never even had their hands on a pump start bashing the product.

This happens all the time- not just with FUELAB- it's every brand at some point or another. One thing is for sure- you always have to consider the source of your information.
