will a stock fuel pump handle........?

Already paid to have my car tuned next week but i am extremely short on funds for the next two weeks so I'm trying to find out if I'm good to get tuned or not unfilled I get a walbro.
Mods: 3" tbe
Lower ic pipe
Full upper ic pipe
3" intercooler
Ported exhaust mani and turbo
Open bov
Speed density
Mbc
850 fic low z injectors
Kelford 272 cams

I want to run as much boost and make as much power as I can but will I end up being held back because of my fuel pump not being able to flow enough? Or is my stock turbo going to end up being the only limiting factor.
Thanks for any help.

Get a walbro 255 , i'm pretty sure you can find the funds for it , they're not that expensive.

Get a walbro you'll get more out of it in the end, but if you really want a tune you should be fine

The IX FP flows a little more than the VIII however I would buy a wally and call it a day. No offence but modding an evo and maintaining one isnt cheap so you may want to rethink your finances if buying a FP will put you over the edge.

If I were you I would sell those injectors and get a walbro 255 and call it a day.

The new pump will change the tune. Either get a pump before your tune or reschedule your tune for a later date.

Shouldn't need bigger injectors yet. I know all about the cost of maintenance of the evidence as this is my 2nd one and owner for about 4 years. I knew I would be on the edge of its limitation and was a bit worried about pressure degression at higher flow rates just wasn't sure how close I was.
Normally my financial situation is very different and need no advice in that department but things happen in life that need taken care of, it happens to all of us, we don't get to choose the timing of misfortunes. Life goes on.
Thank you all for the very fast responses I will make sure to get a new pump in before the tune.
