The stock one is not going to be good enough, you could get away with it, but, its risky. The walpro 255 is fine.

How much power are you planning to make? That's a much bigger factor than what turbo you are running... The 255 lph Walbro will handle most setups under 350 HP or so. There are calculations out there for this sort of thing, I'd recommend you find them... might want to pick up a copy of Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" while you're at it.

Best of luck!

I agree, but the stock pump is boderline. The Chillfactory is only running 7-8lb boost and they replace the fuel pump. The walbro will handle anything you can throw at it. If you plan on making more than 350hp, a fuel pump is going to be one of the easier things to beef up, lol.
