We (or at least I) were talking how it theoretically couldnt, since I didnt know how much fuel the stock pump could push and what pressure it could maintain, much less how much the injectors could flow. Are you running a stock fuel pump and stock injectors? Because by your sig, it sure looks like you arent, in which case my point remains the same for a forced induction build...
I agree there is no point for a NA car.

I ran e85 before switching the pump, but while still turbo. I didn't dyno to see how far exactly it would go... But it will keep up on a NA car I assure you

Stock injectors, probably not enough even for NA... But I don't know for sure cause I don't know what size they are
