Changed the spark plugs already?
Try NGK BR8ES and gap it to 0.55 mm.

So the car boosts but it's not accelerating? How the fueling looking? How's it idling? Compression is good?

Any particular reason why you replaced the fuel pump? What was the old fuel pump? what is the new one?

You need to find out what's going on at the point of the problem. I would advise against swapping parts that you think are causing the problem. Get as much data as you could to diagnose the problem instead of reacting to symptoms. You need to get diagnostics done to see what the fueling is while driving. MAF, MAP, injectors, knock sensor etc could be culprit. You have some digging to do.
