Default shouldn't go out that soon...but seeing that you have a 2001 225 TTQ, it doesn't surprise me.
like Boosted and others, we are experiencing similar problems...temperature gauges, fuel sender and fuel pump issues, you name it.

Default Could it be mod related? Chip possibly stressing fuel delivery? >>>
I doubt it but maybe it contributes to a faulty part

No, that pump is way over-rated for fuel delivery, It should not fail simply 'cuz of the chip

Default Chip has nothing to do with putting additional strain on a fuel pump. A fuel pump always flows the
same irregardless of power level.

The only small variable is more boost causes higher fuel pressure. Although the difference is not much to a fuel pump.
