Looking for right fuel pump

I am gathering the supplies I need for turboin the 12a. My question is, what fuel pump and regulator do you all recommend and where can I find them? Its goin to need lots of fuel so a good flowin pump is what Im lookin for. I dont know anything about carbs and fuel pumps so anything I should know?

If you don't know anything about carbs, and assuming you are going blowthru, you didn't say, you better start learning about them, a lot, and quick. Tuning is they key if you wan't to keep your motor for long.

As far as supplying and regulating fuel, a decent Walbro 255 lph external FI pump and a Mallory 4309 fpr. But then that is dependent on your hp and boost goals too, which you also didn't state.

More info would certainly be helpful, unless you want guesses for answers.

Thanks for the information. To be more specific. I understand the carb tuning just fine. Just not to sure on the fuel system of the 12a, but will learn quickly.

Im going for at least 250 whp in the 12a, and what ever boost is going to take me there. It will be street ported. I have a T3/T4 57 trim, .63 A/R turbine, .50 A/R Compressor. Intercooled. Blowthru.

Where could I purchase this said Fuel pump.
