Ecotune 1.8TSI LPFP Upgrade | Polo GTI LPFP

The Ecotune 1.8 TSI LPFP Upgrade is the definitive solution for low-pressure fuel supply on the Polo GTI and Ibiza Cupra platforms. As tuning levels progress toward Stage 3, the factory in-tank pump often fails to provide sufficient volume to the high-pressure pump, leading to dangerous lean conditions. This kit replaces the restrictive factory motor with a high-performance Walbro 450 unit, housed in a modified OEM basket to ensure perfect fitment and reliable fuel scavenging even at low tank levels.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Walbro 450 Core: Utilizes the industry-standard "Hellcat" pump, capable of supporting significantly higher horsepower than the factory unit.
• Modified OEM Basket: Each kit is built using a genuine housing that has been precision-modified to accommodate the larger pump while retaining factory fuel level sender accuracy.
• Ethanol (E85) Compatible: Fully safe for use with high-ethanol blends, featuring E85-grade internal hosing and electrical connectors.
• Stable Low-Pressure Supply: Maintains consistent pressure to the HPFP, preventing fuel starvation during high-load pulls and extended track use.
• Quiet Operation: Engineered to minimize the "whine" often associated with aftermarket pumps while delivering motorsport-level flow.

Workshop Fitting & Support

In-tank fuel pump replacement requires specialized tools and careful handling of fuel vapors. We provide a complete drive-in, drive-out service.
