Best Fuel setup for my application
I know, I know it's been asked a million times before. However, with my sig. which one should be the best? The only other item that will be added is a dif. turbo once the stock Holset goes. Right now I have 15psi @ idle and on 5x5 WOT can pull it down to 6psi or so. I'm sure my Mach's are going to pull it down further. My choices are scotty, vulcan or fass? Combine a pusher pump w/my stock and a scotty or vulcan line kit? What about walboro? I am uneducated in the fuel system field....

You don't need upgraded pumps or anything until you get into biggish power. A scotty fuel kit is plenty adequate.
I can't get mine below 11psi with a Smarty and M4s-- on the factory LP. Works for me!

I can't get my pressure below 10 at WOT (don't have my 1.6's in yet, those will be next weekend). Prior to the Scotty's system, I was around 5-6.
Install is very easy and straight forward.

Yup. High idle still sticks as far as I know. It's a thank you present for trying it. 
Mine should be ordered beginning of next week so I'll have it for the meet. Fuel systems are easy. A 6 pack of shiner is all I ask.
