Yeah, but we don't really need either til we get over ~550whp. Since we can up the fuel pressure, and the pump seems to be fine with that, I see no reason to worry about them yet.

But, if they wanna make them, I won't stop em!

Oh, and how bout tuning for them? Good luck on that one.

This is true. A pump wouldn't be a bad way of upping the pressure, though, I think ours are different than those of the VW and Mazdaspeed's.

let us know what you think

i know your probably not going to agree with this but skip the turbonetics and go with precision or garrett. i have had nothing but oil seal leaks with mine irregardless of the restrictor i use, and everyone i know running a turbonetics runs into the same issue.

No, I really don't think it is. Ours is a cam driven GEAR pump, whereas, if I understand their setup correctly it is powered by a tri-lobe on the cam itself. Therefore, if my assumptions are correct, then a simple internals upgrade for ours will not work.

Of course, I could be wrong, but I most likely am not.
