I do agree Spool's lifetime warranty is better than XDI's 1yr warranty. Though Spool requires you to purchase a new pump before the warranty process is even started. Then after you send back the old pump, if the warranty is accepted, you will be reimbursed.

Alot of people that are using the big boost 3.4 kits are requiring PI to supplement the FX-150 from what I see on facebook. So people looking to hit huge power goals will definitely need more fuelling and Spool also has a higher flowing version according to their social media posts. People with an upgraded turbo who want to run full E85 will probably need more fuel than the FX-150 can flow too. So at this point imo the XDI-35 doesn't flow enough fuel to even justify buying it over any of these other pumps especially since it costs alot more. For my personal use where I want to be able to run full e85 on an upgraded turbo at ~500whp I was already looking past the XDI-35 in favour of the XDI-60 but if the other competitors have a higher flowing pump for cheaper and a lifetime warranty that is where I am heading to. Hopefully this will stimulate more competition in the HPFP world and cause price drops, it probably is hard for XDI since they have TTFS as their middle man and sole distributor who probably has to take a sizable chunk of the profit.
In regards to the warranty, I was not sure how the spool warranty worked but they did say no hassle guarantee on their page and to email them for warranty, I didn't know that you had to buy a pump first. Still better than a 1 year warranty that's for sure. So imo to make sure you do retain a warranty buy the filter, and use high quality fuel + fuel stabilizer if you are using ethanol to prevent moisture accumulation.
