I was wondering if I should upgrade the fuel pump to 5bar when upgrading to a bigger turbo,injectors etc? I already know that the fpr can be modified to 5bar but Should I include a 5bar fuel pump also?

From what I've learned the limiting factor with the stock fuel system is the size of the fuel lines. stock are -6. My solution will be to keep the stock fuel lines up to a custom fuel reservoir. Then run -8 lines through the fuel rail. I'll also be going larger fuel injectors to bring the idle fuel pressure down to be able to increase flow at WOT. Stock pump has handled 412hp.

Im looking for 375-390hp. I heard that 50 trim is a lot for stock rods. Is this true? Ill be running an FMIC and some other goodies.

I don't know if it's true or not. My rods have lasted about 4 months with moderate WOT driving. A co-worker has same set up and he has had no problems yet either. Better rods are in the near future though.
