Depends on how much fuel you want.

some mods....so we talking 900HP, or an air filter and exhaust?

Again, not a very clear question

Walbro GSS341 or 342 is the best bolt-in pump...no mods required.

Bosch 044

That's what I run in tank, be sure to remove the check valve from the pump outlet.
Allow about a hour to fit it if you do it yourself (it's not a direct fit).

Walbro's are the easy option as they're nearly "drop in" units.

worth noting that 044's are noisy, where as walbro's are nearly silent.

mod list for V6 STI- air filter, exhaust, silicone intake, up pipe, powerfc and maybe a few other small improvements. Im not going too crazy on the mods so something suited to those mods please. Not too worried about the noise as the car will be plenty noisy anyway.

Reflex, go the walbro 341/342. they are a 500 hp fuel pump, and are a direct swap for a DIY install. and about $150 from ebay.

just remember to unplug your battery when playing inside the fuel tank

Steve.
