CHEAP Walbro 255 find?

Correction again, yes, Walbro WSL392 pumps from this site for around $50-60 shipped to US. Are these the same as what we need for the N54?

I don't think so "steves" pump has a bundy fitting on top and bottom. You can find the correct 255 for about 80-90 dollars not much more and have the correct one.

Walbro has locations in the U.S. in Michigan and Arizone...Not sure where the pump is produced but they also have a location in Tokyo...

I personally would not risk buying a pump from aliexpress to save a few bucks...Most of the items on that site are Made in China and usually replicas...I'm not saying it isn't genuine but I would not take the risk for a ~$40 difference...At the cost of ~$40 I would give up the possibility of returns or warranty exchange in case I had an issue, and when/if my car would have to be towed anytime line bursts, LPFP pump takes a dump, or the quality of the pump is subpar I would be out more money in towing that what I would be trying to save from buying it from aliexpress...Once again just my 2 cents...Wish you the best
