why don't you see witch fuel pump the renault 5 turbo boys use?

because finding ne that isnt scene taxed and then wiring it up will be effort ha

was hoping theres something aftermarket such as a facet pump that i could use

admittedly i hadnt looked into them much, i was just advised to use a polo pump ect. i will keep an eye on that one

as for not being a good idea, it probably isnt, but ah well, itl be a laugh!
tbh i probably havent been as clear as i perhaps should have

i already have a facet pump wired in my bay, but its for bike carbs so obviously very low pressure in comparison to what i need. i was looking for something which i could pretty much just replace that with
