Fuel system geniuses please advise

Car=3rd gen, Turbo=t78, injectors=1600's
I plan on ordering the rail and other goodies sometime this week. Which rrfpr and pump should I run? I think I recall Gordon mentioning running two Bosch pumps in parallel. If I choose to run two pumps in parallel how is this done? I know starvation is an issue on our cars so info on that topic will be helpful as well. I guess I need to know what you guys would do, have done, or would change to have a safe and reliable setup. A complete breakdown even listing the necessary Aeroquip/Earls/whatever fittings from the rail to the pump would be excellent for someone as new to fuel systems as I am. The help will be VERY much appreciated! Thanks guys

You can run a line from the tank to each pump and then either Y them into 1 line to the primary fuel rail, or have one go to the primary rail and one to the secondary rail.

When I bought my aquamist of Gordon he mentioned he was running a bosche pump as well as retaining the
In tank stock pump for redundancy. This might have changed since last I spoke give him a pm...

Here is my setup starting from the tank...

rx-7 perf.pump>-6an line>-6an k&n billet fillet>-6an line>stock primary fuel rail>k2rd secondary fuel rail>
-6 an 120' swivel>-6 an line>sx fpr>-6 an line on return to tank.

To prevent starvation in the near future I'm adding a 1.9L fuel reservoir tank and a external pump, but mostly that is my fuel system in a nutshell.

Good luck,
Joe
