fuel pump for 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.

A Walbro 255lph in-line fuel pump will be fine for what you want to do, either FI or carb. Now which are are you doing fuel injection or carburator?? That will determin your regulator. If you are going carburated you will also need to run a larger return line. If you do not make a larger return line, with that pump you will get about 9psi line pressure.

What turbo do you plan on running???
