    your fuel pressure might drop off, and make tuning hilarious.

    But you should have a fuel pressure gauge.

    what does what matter?

    lol ok in my head worse case has two scenario's
    a. the new pump will put so much drain it burns out my alternator and every fuse/relay on the way to it
    b. involves it drawing so much power it heats the wires to the point of coating melting and having an arc in my fuel tank = BOOM

    best case scenario it will be fine on the stock wiring without tuning and will blow out a fuse before doing any damage to the pump or electrical system

    it seems like the whole system as far as what could short is contained inside the canister free from gas so that might be alarmist on my part but I hope you understand what my concerns are I figured someone might chime in hey Ive had one on stock wiring for 20k miles np and put me at ease
    I'm sorry officer I didnt know I couldn't do that
