Yeah I have been lucky I guess with the Walbro. I have been considering the Aeromotive unit, I may pick one up and a new pump assembly to have it ready for when mine decides to die.

Only just ordered it today.... but my walbro 255lph is begining to lose pressure and even more under WOT. Charles told me he hasn't heard a bad word about these fuel pumps yet so decided to give it a try. Said the Aeromotive is overkill, especially when using a stock fuel pump assembly.

Hmm, I will have to do some research. Just a quick glance and use of the calculator shows that the DW200 should work.
Here is a comparison versus the Walbro.

Out playing with my boost controller, trying to figure out my boost drop issue and I seem to have it fixed. But I'm not sure if it's the cool weather or the messing with the boost controller. I have it set to max 7.5psi and at redline it's holding like 5.5psi. Peak according to my PLX was 9.0. I have it set to only drop 50% at max boost, I need to play with the settings some more.
Max MAF voltage was 4.28. 3rd gear pull (I think)

I do, but I then also do sometimes graph some things for comparison evaluation purposes. The biggest issue is you have useless data on there. Why does LTFT and STFT need to be logged & or graphed on a WOT run? Why are you graphing against those X axis increments? I can't even tell what your MAF numbers are, but maybe this is intentional? Sorry, it just doesn't make sense as compared to what I would normally do, which is graph MAF flow vs RPM, MAF voltage vs RPM, etc. Occasionally I do log two streams of data against RPM with a dual scale just for a quick point-point comparison, like AFR and MAF rate vs RPM. Also I graph against time sometimes for certain performance comparisons.

Yeah it feels great and they are within acceptable ranges within boost but I would like them to be more stable. But I did change the intake setup so I am sure that affected the tune a bit since it was me who adjusted it after the intake install and not Steve.
I would love to be able to graph boost and AFR. The Adaptronic is attractive on that front.

You will notice by the fluid level there is a capped fitting, there is be a small hose that goes from there to the top of the T stat housing just like the stock one and there is a fitting on the bottom as well that goes to the little nipple on the rad. All -AN fittings except the bottom one.

I count 3 on mine....
