Help: Fuel pump to suit +t conversion 940GLE

Hey all, i’m in the process of doing a turbo conversion on my B230FB.
Im running a TD04hl-19T on low boost (0.8bar) with a chipped ecu and ezk and 440cc injectors.
I was wondering if the NA fuel pump will cope, and if not what other alternatives are there that I can install?
Cheers
Matt

Yes the original fuel pumps are sufficient, are you installing an air-fuel gauge? This will tell you if you start running lean at higher boost and revs
This is what I run and it doesn't give any dramas.

Yeah, there's cheaper stuff around, but the pennies saved are lost when the cheap stuff dies and towing is needed.
IMO the NA pump isn't up to the job. I once had a 740T with a Pierburg NA pump and it never ran properly until a proper Bosch pump was fitted.
Looking at the part numbers it appears there is a difference between turbo and NA fuel pumps but I'm not sure exactly what the difference is. If doubtful do as Bob says and change to the turbo pump 9142045
NA is 9142044
Turbo pump at RockAuto.com...not a bad price:
Note link to RockAuto didn't work, but that's a pic...~$115+shipping ($159.90AUD incl tax and shipping FedEx). Just search for the p/n that @ramrod posted 9142045...looks like Bosch equivalent number is 69594. Shop around. $154AUD on Amazon including postage.
Once again you guys have gone above and beyond to answer my questions. Thank you very much for this information. I’ve purchased a 9142045 Fuel Pump 👍
