Example: 350Z Nissans use a returnless system, when turbocharging them the fuel system is often the limiting factor. Plus a return-style system runs cooler...unused fuel in the feed line goes back to the tank, mixes with the remaining fuel, and comes back 'cooled off'.
The Focus fuel pumps can handle up to 425 rwhp. Lets try and keep and open mind here. Ok there PWM pumps we can deal with that!
