Default does the DIRECT walbro pump need hot wire??

i have been reading about the hotwire kit to upgrade the wiring for an aftermarket fuel pump.. i know the racetronix kits need them

i was looking at this DIRECT FIT walbro pump from ws6 store, does this need the hotwire kit??

The pump you are looking at is a knockoff of the Racetronix design.

You should use a hot wire kit with these larger pumps.

Re-read my post.... is is a "knockoff of the Racetronix design".
Never said it was not a Walbro.

The venturi function is a modification made to the Walbro pump by other sources.
Racetronix pioneered this modification years ago.

Therefore potentially the same current requirements.
