Please leave in general for a bit....

Are we all of the opinion that Mark's fuel pumps are the best to go for (to fit a totally standard STI3, I am reliably imformed this is the place to start modding).

Yes.. but this would be better in general technical..

Std fuel pump can barely supply enough fuel as it is..

Ta David,

Are there different flow rates, i.e. 255lts/min? Is that the best to go for?

Indeed, very keen price.... No fitting though, but it looks not too difficult to fit anyway.
