aftermarket fuel pump

Has anyone used an aftermarket fuel pump or know where I can get one. I found one OEM here for $828 which is definitely better than the $1,200 dealer price.

Also is the fuel pump Assembly the same thing as the fuel pump? Ir is the assembly just the wiring harness.

Also do you guys think its okay to use an aftermarket fuel pump?

Srt-6 Crossfire
240M3SRT on the crossfire forum installed a walbro 255, they usually run around $100 and can support more hp. Not sure if you guys have the same fuel setup as us or not?

pointmam: The car doesn't start. Crank sensor is good. Fuel Pump relay burnt itself my service rep, a real nice guy, gave me a new one for free we put it in car almost started, sounded like it ran for a second and died. We tried again and nothing. Battery and alternator are good. He said they checked my motor and everything is good on the car, except the pump.

TemjinX2: that pump from installuniversity is for s c240. c32 uses a stronger fuel pump that runs are higher pressure(?). Its two diff pumps. normal w203 pump is like $300, and a w203 amg pump is like $900

c32used: I took it to the dealer and they did a full inspection for $125. Hooked up to star(i think). My service rep told me they checked all the components and their tech ran power straight to my pump and there was no go. They are 100% sure its my pump or so they claim.

Interesting. I am curious cause I hear several taps from the backend when I stop at a red light. I am almost positive its the pump, but not sure if its normal or not.

I am thinking about getting a walbro 255 but I'm not sure if it will be compatible. Anyone can chime in on this?

Ooops. Just realized, the C32 pump is in-tank, the SLK pump is external like the SRT. So nevermind the above.

Has anybody with a tuned C32 tried using a Boost A Pump? Quite a few people with supercharger kits use these....
