What do you have for fuel mods right now? If you have no fuel mods you shouldn't be boosting more than about 1-2psi. But don't boost man...
Have you done research on any of this stuff? Please list what you have for current fuel mods.

You can buy RSX-S injectors and an emanage and tune with that. A vortec fmu with inline fuel pump and tuning with either emanage or vafc2. A couple injectors with a custom plate mounted on the tb is another possibility too, though you need an injector controller with that. How could you boost without fuel!!!
Adding all that air with no extra fuel? Avoid making boost until you get that issue resolved, or you'll be replacing your motor.

Yes SAFC or VAFC2 are fine to tune fuel with. But you definately want an inline pump and a regulator if you don't plan on converting to return or replacing the injectors.

This is an in-line pump.

For the FMU... buy a 10:1.
But yeah, Walbro does make external fuel pumps. Most expensive one is $140 and it performs a lot like the Walbro 255L HP in-tank.
CLICK HERE, THEN CLICK ON EXTERNAL UNDER FUEL PUMPS
You can buy any Walbro pump on that site. Pretty good prices too.
