Pain in the ***. Does anyone know if the Aermotive will be a direct swap since the pump has been fitted with the Walbro already? I searched but couldn't really find anything definitive. I think MM has run it but has anyone else run it in the factory fuel pump assembly?

It's weird they don't have the 8 as a supported application for their intank units. they have a 323 listed but no rx-8...
We just need to find out what the Walbro one was meant to replace (7,miata, protege, etc) and get the unit that supports that same car. Anyone have a part number for the walbro?

Well I got the walbro number GSS342, looks like its aeromotive part number 11142.
Since they both fit the same cars I assuming it will be a direct swap, don't see any reason for it not to be.
More money... My build will never be finished this sucks. $179 :/

And yea I'm pretty sure it's a drop in replacement.
Yes, Aeromotive also includes a new one, but I'm not sure if it fits properly in the RX8 Fuel Pump housing.
Includes universal filter sock – may not fit in some applications (see OEM filter replacement recommendations)

Melting the pop off valve is super easy... if you want pics lemme know and I'll send ya some, I took some really good ones to show exactly how I melted it.
And quite complaining... building the car is half the fun

Ha, Ha, Ha. I am actually thinking it is just when the tank is low because I went out tonight and filled up and I drove around for a while and didn't have the issue. It stayed pegged at 60 PSI. It's so hard to stay out of boost though, the car is running so smooth. It's just the damn smoke at startup that is annoying. A little bit of oil drains back into the turbo when it sits for a long while and burns off at start up. So I guess I'm gonna have to clocked it fully so the the drain is completely straight down and then get creative with the coolant lines.
