Thoughts on $69 Ebay 255lph FP..?

All ready to go and "buy it now" when I realized that it's prolly an offshore knockoff of the Walbro.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUEL-...m360065095930&


I've seen the Walbros for $99 so should I buck up the extra $30 or has anyone had any good/bad experience with these??

Thanks guys,
Ivan

I'm a believer that some Ebay parts really do work, but for only a $30 difference, I'd go name brand.

The pump works great but there tech support sucks.
Also you might have to get a new sock.
If I had to do it over again I would get a Racetronix one with there wiring harness.

The thing your going to run into is the new fuel pump plug will have a bigger gauge wires and you will be connecting them to the thin stock wires.
I was not too crazy about that but it works.

FWIW, You're always supposed to replace the sock when replacing an in tank pump.
