Why Upgrade?

The factory BMW fuel pump simply cannot keep up with modified engines. Whether you're running a turbo M30, supercharged M60, or building a street/strip E34, adequate fuel delivery is critical. The Walbro 255 has been the go-to performance fuel pump for decades - proven, reliable, and cost-effective. This basket eliminates the typical mounting hassles - no more cutting up your OEM basket, no more hacking together a sketchy mount, no more wondering if your pump will shift under hard cornering.

Installation Notes:

This basket handles the mounting - you'll still need to sort out your own wiring and fuel lines for the Walbro pump. Remove the factory fuel pump assembly from the tank, replace the OEM basket with the podio1 basket, install your Walbro 255 pump, and complete your wiring and line connections. Walbro pump, wiring, and installation hardware sold separately.

Note: The Walbro 255 (GSS340/341/342) is rated for gasoline only and is not compatible with E85. If you're running E85, see our Walbro 450/485/525 or TI Automotive E5LM basket options.
