fuel pump upgrade for cam swap?

Post by rewd53 »

hi all i was wanting to fit a "hotter " cam to my 1.8gt i have a weber to go on but was hoping to do a cam upgrade at the same time.
Would i need to uprate the fuel pump if i ; a) fitted a mk2 golf gti PB engine cam?
b) fitted a kent / piper cam?
if so what set up should i use? or which parts and where from? i do have a mk2 gti in bits if i can salvage all i need from there
Many thanx
