[s-cars] Fuel pump ideas for IA Stage III+ UrS6

[swhouser at gmail.com]

Yes, pressure has been measured, and  clearly the fuel pump is a problem. Odd that it's failed like this, rather than just died as it's fairly new. Sounds, based on the responses, that I should be fine with a stock pump. 

Thanks for confirming that.

Have you verified that the fuel pump isn't delivery enough fuel and is 
dropping pressure? I've personally setup an RS2'd urS4 with a 034 GT2871 
turbo that had no issues with the stock pump.
