Default How much bhp will an 044 pump support?

As title really. When will a single 044 run out of flow capacity.

If you want to go fancy calculations, assume a BSFC of approx 0.5.

Are they good for 500bhp?

Yes they will easily flow enough for 500bhp providing the correct voltage is seen at the pump

I think most decent tuners run two of these in parallel when you're running say 5.5-6 bar fuel pressure (~2 bar boost)..

Yes one will flow 600plus bhp i dont think its ever been max tested!

Obviously above 500bhp you will need bigger fuel lines.

is it worth having a std pump fromt he tank to a swirl pot, and then the 044 from the swirl pot to engine?

thats what i was gonna do

or will it be fine to just use the 044 from fuel tank to engine?

im gonna be using an ally fuel cell in the boot too.
