EQT's Top of the Line MQB Low Pressure Fuel Pump

In collaboration with Protec Fuel Pumps, we are very excited to announce the EQT Tsunami Integrated Surge Tank System – a revolutionary modular surge suppression fuel pump system. This system solves critical issues with the factory style fuel pump assembly, while providing a modular solution that can be scaled to support as much as 1400whp, all tucked away inside the fuel tank!

The Problem With Factory Low Pressure Fuel Pumps (LPFP)

Most factory fuel tanks and fuel pump setups suffer from fuel starvation due to slosh. Slosh occurs when a car experiences high G forces from hard acceleration or aggressive cornering. This becomes more pronounced with increased power and grip levels. Under these conditions fuel is pushed away from the in-tank fuel pump assembly, the fuel pump ingests air and sends that to the engine instead of fuel. This results in a sudden, extremely lean condition which can cause hard power cuts, misfires, fuel pump wear, and engine damage.

Volkswagen/Audi are no exception to this as some models can suffer from severe fuel starvation at as much as half tank. To combat fuel slosh and starvation, drivers are often required to have at least a half full tank if they want to drive their cars aggressively. This is not ideal for things like track driving and drag racing where fuel range and overall weight are important factors.

A common solution for this problem has been the addition of an auxiliary surge tank. This usually involves an intrusive tank assembly to be installed somewhere in the trunk area with fuel lines running from the in-tank pump to the surge tank, and then to the engine. This system works by holding a set amount of fuel in the auxiliary surge tank which is fed by the normal in-tank pump. When slosh occurs, the in-tank pump briefly runs dry and sends air to the surge tank. However, the surge tank still has plenty of fuel that it can supply to the engine until the slosh condition subsides and the in-tank pump is again able to replenish the surge tank.

While this solution works, it is usually reserved for full track/race cars because the surge tank and associated lines and components take up interior space and may present safety concerns for road vehicles. This type of surge tank solution can also get very expensive as it requires its own fuel pump, additional wiring/controllers to control the pump, external fuel pressure regulators, and a lot of additional fuel lines.

The EQT Plug-and-Play LPFP Solution For MQB Cars

Instead of adding an auxiliary system, the EQT Tsunami utilizes a completely new fuel pump assembly that fits entirely into the factory fuel tank. The new assembly includes a state-of-the-art 3D printed basket, choice of Protec Brushless Fuel Pumps, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, appropriate top hat, and all necessary lines, wiring, and controller(s) for a truly plug and play solution that doesn’t take up trunk space.

Advanced Basket Design

The new 3D printed basket is designed to fit into factory fuel tank while holding 5 times more fuel than the factory basket. This helps to keep enough fuel supply to the pump even under prolonged high G conditions.

Anti-drainback valve

The new basket also features a built in low mounted ball valve to ensure that fuel is always entering the tank in normal driving, but when fuel slosh occurs, the valve closes to prevent the fuel in the basket from draining out.

AWD Siphon Provision

In AWD/saddle tank cars, the siphon pump has been re-designed to return fuel to the top of the basket. This ensures fuel from the saddle side is always going directly into the basket.

EQT Low-Pressure Fuel Pumps for MQB & MQB Evo Chassis

Compatibility

What Vehicles are supported?

Our fuel pumps are compatible with a wide range of MQB 4-cylinder and 5-cylinder vehicles, as well as MQB Evo models such as the GTI, Golf R, and Audi S3. Whether you're running a street build or track-focused setup, we have you covered.

Tuning Support

Staged Tunes and Custom Tunes

Factory-installed brushed OE pumps require tuning adjustments when upgrading to a brushless LPFP, such as the options we offer.

If you're upgrading, you can either purchase a staged tune specifically designed to support the new brushless pump, or choose an option change if you already have a tune and need to accommodate the new pump.

Additionally, custom tuning can be done to fully optimize your vehicle’s performance with these pumps, ensuring seamless integration and maximum efficiency on both MQB and MQBe vehicles.

Supported Power Levels

OE, Standard, Pro-Series, and Tsunami

OE Brushed Pump: Supports 400-430whp

Standard LPFP: Supports up to 600whp

Pro-Series LPFP: Handles up to 700whp
