Gonna be installing a new fuel pump on the weekend...just wondering Do you need to use any special type of wire and terminals for this? or just the standard stuff u can buy from auto one/ super cheap?

because on the how to it doesnt actually say, and just looks like standard wire...but i wasnt sure how that would go being in the tank? also...do the terminals need to be covered up?

thanks.

Pretty much all you do is replace the stock pump with the new pump, it's very easy. Just make sure you don't get the polarities wrong like I did, the pump will run in reverse and not work.

Also are you planning on rewiring the pup to run direct off the battery? Highly recommend that you do...

Just looking at the DIY for it, the stock pump terminal connections are different to the ones on top of the 040?

rewiring the pump to run direct off the battery? if its the thing to do...then ill look it up and do it while im at it.

Ah ok, I assumed they were the same as an 044. Just standard insulated wire will be fine. Make sure you use heatshrink to cover up any exposed wires, you certainly don't want any sparks in there.

As for wiring off the battery, it made a huge difference to my pump. There is a DIY for it in the FI reference guide if you have a look in there.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
