fuel pump. id go with a 190, or you can go overkill and get a 255 but with that youll need a FPR

I would say you can run around 21psi with the 190 fuel pump add on.

well he could run more i think on the 190 but i figured with the stock internals and head he probably doesnt want to do much more than that

One dude had his stock motor running 31-2 psi on stock internals then after one year he had the money so he just got forged internals anyway.

twin turboing it would be totally pointless, and sebba i doubt that the 30psi would last very long on a 2g . If you are gonna go upgraded turbo the get a single upgrade.

One quick question guys. You can only run up to 21 psi on the 190 fuel pump? Or how high can you go?
