A friend of mine bought one for his ls swapped trans am
It died in less than a week

Some might have had better luck with them but I would skimp on a fuel pump for something that sees boost

I wouldnt use anything other than a 100% genuine 044.

If you want cheap, buy a Walbro.

I used one of the ebay knock offs for about 2 years without knowing. It was on the car when i bought it. I didnt realize till i sold it to a guy and he chewed my *** out for selling him something fake :-( . Made it right with him and apparently he has been using it for about a year now without any issues also!

It seems like there there are different versions of them. Like a blue one denmah used ones. I saw one on ebay that comes with the m18 treath in the inlet.. Any more inpute before i buy them? Have a race weekend on the end the month.

I run twin 044s on my 240. One for sure was legit the other I was doubting. The China one **** the bed within 2 weeks. So I bought an authentic and called it done. I should of just went with my gut and bought the magnafuel 4303. Oh well.

DW sell an inline pump they claim performs better than an 044.

Dont really know of anyone using it though, or whether it's reliable or not.

I'd stay away from a known fake. They don't have near the output of a real one and live significantly shorter lives. Even buying a "real" one is getting hard. They have successfully copied the boxes, part numbers, and stickers now. We get a lot of Chinese parts returned to Bosch and people didn't know they weren't OEM.

This has fail written all over it. There are just some things you don't want to skimp on and this is one of them.

Trans-am Curacao

a lot of good info here.
that's what got me scared to buy a $170 and when I comes its not real. aaagggrrrrr.
the seller I see selling these has like 238 sold and don't see negative feedback

I have China crap all over my car, and I would recommend using brand name pumps. I have replaced 3 of these of customer cars, I know Erik @ Backstreetper.com has replaced may broke, bunk China 044s.

stevieturbo

Despite being some 30 years old, nobody to this day has built a comparable pump that performs like an 044....so for sellers to claim a $50 pump can match one....is just ridiculous.

I wouldnt even try one if it was free unless they can prove 100% their flow abilities AND that they will run forever like an 044 will even at max load.

Biggest problem these days with buying a genuine 044...is finding a genuine 044. The copies are bloody good, but there are dozens of threads on the web with images etc of the genuine ones and copies.

Trans-am Curacao

thanks guys for the info. I guess I should be looking for a genuine. like he said. its hard to find real ones. because they sell you a fake with real one price tag. because I don't liv in the US it's not possible to send it back.
any where I can fine a REAL one?????


how about this one. seen the seller guarantee 100% or money back.

We have had a lot of customers buy a China one thinking it was real. They are junk. If it is under $200, it is a fake. We have had great luck with the real 044 but the China ones support like 200hp less and burn up fast. If you need a real one, we have them in stock ready to go!
