holy hell. get a bigger fuel pump in there ASAP!!! dont boost on the stock fuel system on that car. you will break all sorts of things. a bigger pump is the only real way to raise the fuel pressure, since you cant do it with a regulator like on a return system.

Are you sure you don't have a retun line?

If you dont' get some bigger injectors in there ASAP. Like Sac said, you are treading on dangerous ground. Lean es no bueno.

even bigger injectors is a bandaid. bigger injectors will actually just lower the pressure, even though fuel delivery will be a little better. the stock pump flows about the same fuel all the time, and so if you have bigger holes on the end, the pressure will drop and it will confuse the ECU. give me a few minutes, ill try to find you a fuel pump. but youd better have a few bucks ready. those suckers arent cheap.

AEM makes a universal fuel pressure regulator and they also make a larger fuel rail for your car. As for larger fuel pumps I think you can put a Walbro on there. Good luck man hope you dont bust anything.

There has to be a returnless inline fuel pressure regulator made somewhere on the planet.
