Supra fuel pump upgrade -- is it really worth it?
I have been reading a few different sources which dictate that the Supra fuel pump upgrade is not needed on the stock injectors, as the stocker is sufficient. Most of the forum guys will suggest an upgraded fuel pump for my mods. Now, I am running 13PSI on a M2 ECU w/ the mods below. I have been doing so for quite some time w/o any issues. Should I bother with the Supra fuel pump upgrade? Thanks in advanced!

good insurance, and pretty easy to install
I also rewired the pump while I was in there when I found out the pump was only running at 10.5V! the wires inside the tank are tiny and the contacts are prone to corrosion

Great, then you'll have some lights to go along with your blown motor! If you have a momentary glitch, or catastrophic failure, you're not going to be able to react to it quickly enough. It'll be blown by the time you notice it. Widebands are good for tuning under constant conditions, they won't do much for hickups, unless you're lucky to have several non-damaging hickups well in advance of the damaging one, so you can shut it down.
I picked up a barely used supra pump for 100.

The Walbro 255 pump will overwhelm the stock pressure regulator, causing an over rich condition at low loads.

I only have direct experience with my car after installing the Walbro pump and the base pressure being too high. But I know of cars that have had the same problem with the Warbro and several with the supra or cosmo that don't have that problem.
