Like I stated, we have installed over 50 pumps and the kits come with about 4-5 parts and the rubber lower insulator is the only one that you could possibly benefit from. Most Evo's are <30K mi. Mine @ 12K, pump went in at 2500mi. You do not need to replace your fuel pump screen with such low miles. Most pumps never fail or need a replacement screen and are good to 150K mi +.
Universal DSM kit contents:
Insulative sock= does not fit
wiring harness= does not fit
pump screen=why have 2, stock pump already has one?
screen retaining ring=why have 2, stock pump already has one?
insulative lower pump spacer- pump works with stock or walbro insulative spacer just fine.
So again, all these parts... Only one is useful, which is not even necessary= a waste of money IMO. I do sell these "kits", so buy them if you want to. Honesty is my policy. It is not needed IMO.

just a recommendation if you have a aftermaket fp then follow the directions and dont run it with less then a quarter tank of gas it is really hard on them. This will help prevent you from ending un frying two pumps in two years like some people.
Walboro all the way!!

Whisper quiet too compared to the Walbro... but over twice the price

I bought the kit with my walbro pump. I don't know, I kinda like the stock setup at the pump outlet, vs. the smallish o-ring that comes with the kit. I used the new filter, but my old one didn't look dirty at all. But I scrapped the new o-ring and re-used the stock "hat" looking thing. It's gotta form a tighter seal, and not bypass fuel much better than a simple o-ring.

Most seem to be fine with the Walbro... I just want to "know" I'm set, and not have to hear it all of the time.

It definately wasn't a waste of money for me. I bought the whole kit from GSC for $80 because I stop by frequently.
I also used the two spare hose clamps supplied in the kit to fix my refrigerator water/ice maker line.
