I've been running a Walbro in my civic for...uh....I dunno about 5 years now? No problems. A friend of mine also has had a Walbro in his turbo Integra for almost two years with no problems.

So one pump shorted and blew the fuse, so both would not run? I have dual pumps and was wondering what I would notice if one failed.

Of course it would depend on how you had it wired. If you have both pumps wired to the same feed you have the benefit of your motor not running at all.
Or, you could just run lean because you dont know that ONE of the pumps shit and couldnt keep up...

pumps, the filter i went with a purolator

One thing you have to keep in mind is that eventually the filter is going to become a restriction for your fuel system. I went with an aeromotive fuel filter with a cleanable wire mesh. Its got -8 feeds on it.

The walbro is pretty loud and failed me once. I dont want to get back in the tank again - thats why im going with the Denso. OEM reliability and relatively low price.

didn't zum or somebody post where you can get the denso for about $180. i can't remember exactly but for under 200 you might as well get the denso for peace of mind. they are usually in the $270-280 range from what i have seen at other places even champion so i can see why the walbro is used so much especially if going dual pumps.

Just purchase a Denso pump 950-0155 which is MKIV TT OEM

I just ordered one off of ebay for 160 shipped.
