walbro fuel pump?
reading through car specs and usually something that pops up is a 255lph walbro fuel pump. what exactly does it do?
my car has a full 3" revolution decat, an induction of some sort and a remap --not the most high powered car on these forums running a modest 270bhp/261lb/ft torque.
but in what circumstances would a car need that uprated bit of kit, over the standard kit? also, would it need a remap after fitting?

Would have thought your car had the pump changed before the remap ...
I can't put my hrc pump on as been told it will over fuel as its good for 500bhp ,,
Most mappers won't do it unless you have changed it anyway , plus it's piece of mind that you got plenty fuel getting to the engine ,my hrc was part of a group buy and I got it for £35 ,my mate Matty1983 paid £49.99 cheap as chips really and worth doing

It's not too bad really once you get the rear seat out. The fun part is trying to empty the fuel tank a fair bit before starting work 
I did it to my old classic STI, same setup as yours i think, took me about an hour all in including making a new electrical connection for the pump as the one it came with didn't fit properly. There is a great guide on JGM's site here, which is the one I used
