Suby-conversion advice?

[Axl]

Hey Mikey , I would say that your best bet would be to go with something close to the stock Suby filter . It shouldn't starve your engine , and give you the flow rate that you need . That's just my opinion , but since I have not actually built my Suby-Volks Bug yet , it is possible that someone else has a different , and maybe better suggestion . Axl .

Thanks Axl,

Any advice at this point would be helpful. I had in mind buying a filter that would be an upgrade over stock, and allow me to up grade my fuel system over time, If I should feel the need. But from what I've heard, a Bone Stock Suby would be plenty of power.

You need two filters, a coarse one between the tank and pump to protect the pump, and a fine one between the pump and engine to protect the injectors.

There are quite a few filters out there, as you have noted. I'd stick close to the stock Subaru parts until you need an upgrade. Here is a page with some suitable parts from Outback Motorsports:
