    High HP fuel pump.

    I am starting a remote twin turbo setup. I know the stock pump will not handle my eventual HP goal do I'll be doing a high pressure, high gph external pump. My question is shop I keep the stock pump to feed the larger pump or remove it completely and where can I find info on doing so. Thanks

    I have the Racetronix pump with the hot wire kit. I'm running 540rwhp on 8 psi. I'd suggest probably dual in-tank pumps. Guess it depends on what your final goal will be.

    Best bet would be to go straight to Aeromotive, Racetronix, or other reputable company and get a recommendation on a pump setup to meet your fueling needs. Last thing you want is to run that sucker out of fuel under load.

    I want to an external, I'm looking at a Weldon. I just not sure if should remove the in tank pump or not and if so what the process is. My stock pump went out and replaced it a few years back and did the trap door mod so I have easy access.

    Is it '98 that has the steel fuel tank?

    From what I remember when I dropped it, yes it is a steel tank. Maybe a replacement task should be on my list as well...

    Fuel Cell or sump the metal tank and run an external pump.

    J -- in the generic pic, why would they loop the blue hose around the fill hose?

    I like that setup, what about fuel level? I want to keep mine streetable, so maybe putting a sump on the stock may be a better option. Now that I see this it makes sense on how to do it, I was focused on using the stock lines to pull from the tank. Thanks for the input.

    The return line is the braided one next to it. I don't have that on mine, so I really don't know.

    It comes with a level sensor that goes in the top of the fuel cell.
