bigger pump is a must for turbo?
I am making 320 whp right now and in the future too. Curretly I am using the stock fuel pump with 600 cc injectors and AEM FPR.
Other FI set up that make less power such as Comptech SC Vortech SC use 225LPH pumps. Lovefab turbo kit uses too. This make me wonder if my fuel pump is working near to the limit and could fail in long trips or at circuit, in this circuntances is a must install a bigger pump? I have rear stock pump can handle 400 WHP
Thx
Juan

If the stocker is a 190LHP unit, then using my math I come up to around 450hp at the crank, or 380whp figuring 15% drivetrain loss. That's with the 30% safety factor added in. I may pull out my Walbro knowing this, that whinning is getting on my nerves

If you are willing to fit a external inline pump then the Weldon 600A are fantastic. Very quiet and will flow enough for 600+BHP. Currently using one in my F20C powered kit car and have found it to be the best pump I have ever come across.
