If you're real lucky. According to the FSM, the TII should have about 70 to 90 psi of dead-head pressure AFTER the filter. Mine has 72 (with 12.4 volts). I have two others that both tested at less than 65 psi, but I don't remember what kind of voltage I had when I tested them.

My pump is 18 years old; maybe the newer ones consistently put out the specified 90 psi, but I don't know.

Are you trying to flow a significant amount of fuel at 80psi???
Then the answer is NO.

yeah, i got an s5 engine dropped into my s4, no emissions, strait fuel lines, and my old fuel pump only pushed 60 psi, i found a turbo fuel pump for 25 bux, and if that'll work then cool, if not ill get a walboro.

you do understand that as PSI goes up flow goes down, like WAY DOWN. why on earth do you "need" 80 psi??? i really don't understand that...

Why would you think you need 80psi? Stock static fuel pressure is ~36psi and there's really no need to go much higher than that.

The only way you'll get 80psi out of a fuel pump is if you dead-head it (i.e. blocked off, zero flow), but this tells you nothing.
