fuel pumps for a turbo 12A
Im building a 12A turbo and I dont know what fuel pump to get. My goal is 300-350 RWHP. I guess you could say I am a fuel pump newbie because I dont really know what brands are best, how much flow you need for a given power level, what regulators you need, etc. So any helpful info about fuel pumps or regulators and which ones would be best for my 12A turbo would be greatly appreciated. I searched, and found some info, but only from a couple sources, and it only said what kind to buy, not why. Thanks in advance.

i've been doing some research, since I'll be going the same route as you, and this is what I came up with. You need a fuel pup that can run at a much higher psi than your standard fuel pump for your carb. This is because you need the fuel pressure to go up in a 1:1 ratio with boost. In order to do that, you'll need a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. I'm going with the aeromotive street rod fuel pump, flows at 18-20psi and 155gph, and an aeromotive rrfpr. Seems to be a popular choice, and I've heard good things about them.
