The software points to #1, but I don't know what side it's on.

Default I was going to try to make a joke about answering the door, but I'm too tired

Try torquing it down first, it can't hurt and it might save you $30, if that doesn't work just get a new one

I'm due for a new fuel pump later on this month and I'll ask them to check the sensor.

Default Yup, this is the 3rd one.

My current fuel pump (2nd) has been whining for about a year now and I simply don't trust it anymore. Yes I did a fuel filter change. Didn't help.

This time I'm not going with an OEM fuel pump. I'm just waiting for the Bosch Motorsports 044 fuel pump to get to my mechanic from 034 Motorsports.

Yes my car is under CPO and I could've probably argued for another OEM replacement, but I just don't want to run OEM anymore.

Is the Bosch comparable to the stock fuel pump or is it more of a performance fuel pump?

Default Performance. I figured that since I'll be going BT sometime in the future I might as well address...

all potential shortcomings.

Mike Hood is running this fuel pump on his crazy B5 2.0L GT35 pushing 30+ psi, 10.something 1/4 mile car

Keep in mine that a higher flow fuel pump is not really a requirement for a BT B6.

Any reason for the Bosch over the APR?

Default APR one is only for the B7 I believe.

Plus I don't like APR that much.
