I'm sure there is a ability to change. The problem is each brain box is tuned for pump delivery rates it is mounted on. JMHO

i'm in farminton. I know there is Industrial injection in salt lake and bakers in ogden. but i don't know which is better. Is there any way to nurse the thing untill i can afford a new one? or does it just go when i feels like it? I had a hypertech max energy on it and it started to pulse after i put the programer on it.
should i also replace the lift pump when i do the VP?

There are several mail order and ebay places that offer pumps in very low 1000 dollar range, perhaps less. To my knowledge they offer same pumps irregardless of statements promoting justification for higher price. Same warranty. Yes, replace LP unless you are absolutelly positive it is sufficent. Like it was replaced 2 months ago and pressure test shows 10 PSI. I sort of assume you have seen 216 code from statement. You are on borrowed time for a failure if correct.

Industrial Injection is an authorized Bosch rebuilder and installer, they will have one on hand .... bakers is just a shop that installs
