I understand need for inline pump for FMU, but for such pressures (stock) with larger injectors... I don't see a need - except maybe just to be on 'safe side' to put more quality pump.. but still.

AFAIK if you use 440cc injectors vs. 240cc you will at WOT in worst case use 2x fuel than before. And how many lph has stock pump? I bet more than enough....
With 990cc or similar.. yes, than I'd say upgrade...

So you don't think that 2x the amount of fuel flowing into the engine is going to affect the stock pump that wasn't EVER meant to see that kind of fuel flow?

CAn you use the stock pump, yeah sure, but why risk blowing the ---- out of your motor over a $85 fuel pump? :-\ It's just a good idea and being in the "safe side" is a good idea also.
