at least get a used TII pump, im sure you could get one for the cost of shipping.



there are tons of pumps on ebay, brand new for $99.

If thats breaking the bank for you I project your car being in the driveway more then on the street!

The n/a pump will provide sufficient fuel for n/a power levels. To make more power via turbocharging, you need more fuel, i.e. a bigger pump.
