RTMG Performance AWD Upgraded Low-Pressure Fuel Pump (LPFP) for 1.8 and 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 Engines 950 HP with Stock Walbro 525 Pump.

Upgraded Low-Pressure Fuel Pump System for All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for 1.8/2.0 TSI EA888 GEN 3 Engines

Introducing RTMG Performance's upgraded fuel pump system, available in four options designed to support 900, 950, and 1300+ horsepower applications.

Easy Installation: This kit includes detailed, step-by-step installation instructions with photos and all necessary information.

900 HP Kit: This kit includes the original factory VW fuel pump, complemented by an additional Walbro 450 F90000274 pump. It provides a reliable fuel supply to support up to 900 horsepower.

950 HP Kit: The 950 horsepower kit includes the original factory fuel pump along with an additional Walbro 525 Hellcat pump, ensuring consistent fuel flow for high-performance applications. 1300 HP Kit: For those seeking maximum performance, this kit includes two Walbro pumps: one WALBRO F90000274 450 l/h and one WALBRO Hellcat 525 l/h, providing exceptional fuel delivery for 1300 HP. In this kit, we utilize both outlets of the pump lid for increased flow, with a 10.5mm internal supply. Additionally, it includes a larger diameter fuel line to the high-pressure pump, AN8 fittings, a machined Aeroflow fuel filter, and a high-pressure lid with AN8. The best option for easy installation in a racing setup.

The ultimate solution for fuel delivery issues for MQB platform enthusiasts. Compatible with VW Golf 7, 7.5, Seat Leon, CUPRA Formentor, Audi S3, TT, TTS, and A3 with EA888 Gen 3 engines. The idea emerged after numerous tests on our own racing cars. Here you will find the information you need about the MQB low-pressure fuel system and the problems our system solves.

The factory system is designed to support up to 400 horsepower, mainly for daily use. However, due to space limitations and VW AG's decision to locate the fuel filter inside the basket along with the pump, there was no room for a pressure regulator. This means that excess fuel does not refill the basket, leading to small pressure drops during acceleration, deceleration, and sharp turns when the fuel level in the tank is low.

Our engineering team, aiming to improve the system, moved the fuel filter externally to a higher-flow filter and positioned the pressure regulator so that excess fuel always keeps the basket full. The basket essentially functions as a secondary fuel reservoir, which must always be full.

Furthermore, moving the filter externally makes it easier to replace and inspect, which reduces costs compared to replacing the entire factory pump due to a clogged filter. This allows the system to operate at its full potential at a much lower cost. Our system retains the factory pump and the low-pressure fuel pump control unit, as it offers high reliability for daily use up to 400 horsepower. However, when higher fuel flow is required for engines exceeding 400 horsepower, the RTMG Performance system provides the solution.

How does it work?

We scanned the basket space with a high-precision 0.02 mm scanner and designed a support structure for both pumps made of forged aluminum, integrating a second WALBRO/TI pump, with a capacity of 450 liters per hour, or even 525 liters per hour depending on use. Thanks to this redesign, we fixed both pumps to the basket with screws, but the most innovative part is that, instead of connecting them with hoses—which creates reliability problems and installation errors—we designed a second forged plate that joins both pumps into a larger outlet. We also positioned the pressure regulator in front of the basket and, for all-wheel drive vehicles, maintained the transfer system of the second tank.
The second pump is activated by its own circuit, depending on boost pressure, and most importantly, it is integrated into the system we designed. The activation of the second pump occurs between 0.7 and 2 bar, and it is easily adjusted with an Allen screw on the RTMG Performance control unit. All electrical wiring is of excellent quality, with safety measures at all points, capable of supplying 40 amps to the second pump in racing conditions.

Nothing from the original wiring has been cut, and everything is installed in such a way that, if you decide to sell the car, the system can be returned to the factory configuration with the original pump, as it was before. The installation of our complete system takes no more than an hour, making the mechanics' job easier.

The result? A robust, high-quality construction that functions like a factory system, with everything in perfect working order, even the fuel gauge in its original position, supplying your engine with the necessary fuel flow for up to 1000 horsepower and more if required. The complete kit is offered ready to use, but for those who have a factory pump in good condition, we also offer only the upgrade kit.

Thank you for your preference. Welcome to the new generation of performance upgrades.

All kits include the necessary wiring for electrical installation and come with a controller to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. The unique design of the RTMG adapter allows for a perfect connection between the two fuel pumps, ensuring durability and efficiency.
