basically it overjuices your fuel pump so that it increases the fuel pressure.
it overworks your fuel pump.

personally, i'd rather upgrade the in-tank fuel pump, but guys have been using this boostapump forever.

Did you not read what he put? It over works your fuel pump so it pushes more fuel? Your motor will use more fuel when the boost is on.

Don't use the boost a pump, go with a Walbro 255 litre in tank fuel pump and add 42lb or 60lb fuel injectors and get the car tuned. Bob

What bob said. The boost a pump is the workaround. Yes it does work most times but is not the best way to do it. Get a bigger intank pump and bigger injectors and get it TUNED!!!
