In all the threads I've read about boosted TSXs, I don't recall a single one where the fuel pump had to be upgraded. There's some kind of DIY mod to the pressure regulator that allows more flow but you'd want to talk to some one with first hand experience with that.

w00ted is in the process of turbocharging his TSX, so he may actually need to get a Walbro in there - nobody with a supercharger has needed to, though.

Running the S/C does not require an upgraded fuel pump - you run the stock one. The Comptech kit includes a tool that allows you to crush the stock fuel pressure regulator to allow additional fuel flow.

In order to run a Walbro 255 (I'm assuming that's what you're going with), you'll need to do a return-line conversion on the stock fuel system as I don't believe the Walbro pump works with a returnless system.

yea exacly... I guess I will need to do that... sucks that they dont make any fuel pump upgrade for TSX yet... I understand that there is not a lot of turboed tsx...

I guess its gonna come in the next years... but I cant wait..
