Why Upgrade?

The factory BMW fuel pump simply cannot keep up with modified engines. Whether you're running a turbo M30, supercharged M60, or pushing serious boost on your E34 M5, adequate fuel delivery is critical. This basket eliminates the typical Walbro 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 pump, and complete your wiring and line connections.
