turbo fuel setup

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of gathering parts for my 12a turbo project and am trying to decide on a fuel pump. I am looking at either getting the msd 2225 or new gsl-se pump. However the msd seems a little overpriced at my local performance shop ($190cdn). A new gsl-se pump is $100 and was wondering what you guys think. Are there better or other suitable options for a pump?
I have a aeromotive fpr 3-12 1:1. Do i need to run a whole new fuel return line off this regulator. When doing this where would i splice it back into the system,or do i have to drop the tank and plump in right in there?

Thanks

I would look at the walbro 255, good pump and a great price.

and for the return use another feed line (larger diameter)

yea, for a return, you can pull a feed line off of a parts car, or from a junk yard, and it will fall right into place of the old return with minial modification. and the walbro255 is a good pump.

not following you, but you should have a stock return line... replace that with the bigger return line and plumb it back in to your fuel tank.... there should already be a place for the return. I also modified my fuel tank return fitting by putting in a larger diameter tube.

Oh, i see why your not following me. I am using a prepped nikki so i still need the return line for that as well. So therefore i would have to run another stock feed as a return and tap the return off the regulator into this. I believe?
