oh yeah fuel pump. forgot about that one. does walbro work well for FD's?

here in italy i don't have to worry about emissions but if i ever make it back to japan i will need all the stuff. so with the emissions block off plates, will that become an issue with emissions?

Also with the injectors how much does the factory fuel rails support. i always here for injectors 850 primary and 1600 secondary. will stock rails support that or do i need bigger ones? common sense would say i need after market ones but i am not sure.

Id go aftermarket. In my eyes I feel its always safer to air on the side of caution.

Walbro is fine up to about 400HP.

You're not going to be able to run the emissions equipment with a single turbo anyway. Air pump won't fit, and the standalone won't control the emissions solenoids.
