Default Upgraded fuel pump?

Are there any options for an upgraded fuel pump for the 07-11 JK? For those of us running forced induction I would like the peace of mind if there was an upgrade option now that it seems to be time to replace the pump anyways.

The flow from the factory pump can run a small V8. The pump and sending unit are all in one package but you can add any stand alone pump with tank modifications if you want but nothing is out there to drop and go in the factory location.

Prodigy had an boost pump that cranks up the voltage on your fuel pump. You might want to give them a call.

You could easily install a fuel pump like the E2000 at the front of the tank where the tanks lines meet the jeeps lines. The JK uses a very common 3/8" push lock fitting.

Should you? No. There is no reason at all.

We use the Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump with our Stage 3 turbo kit for the 3.8 Wrangler. This is used to increase the fuel flow rate of the stock fuel pump to meet the fuel demands of 12 psi boost. There's no reason to use this if you do not require more fuel than the stock fuel pump can reliably provide at stock voltage levels.
