So what pressure do you expect to need to feed those injectors? And what size injectors are you going to?

What are you doing with the return. I have a 98 and currently use the racetronix single set up, but will need to upgrade in the future. The racetronix keeps the intank regulator.
What are you using to regulate?

So you did not do anything with the intank regulator?
I am suprised that the stock line will be big enough to handle the return of 3 pumps. But I am glad that it is, it makes the process a whole easier.

It doesn't have to... The return will only handle the excess. Only one pump is on during street driving and the second and third pumps are brought in under boost... The engine uses plenty of fuel under those situations to not burden the return line with an ungodly amount of fuel
