Default Bosch 044 In-tank (What can it support)

Can anyone tell me what my bosch 044 can support power wise on a 2.5? Its mounted in tank at the moment and I don't know what its capable of or how far I can push it before I need a extra pump/swirl pot etc.

Dave

I have been running one 'in tank' on a 2.3 engine for a couple of years now.

Currently at 590hp on Vpower and 620hp on GTPlus109 Race fuel, and haven't had any fuel supply issues yet.

I've just bought a swirlpot to fit though, as i have been suffering with fuel surge issues when running under 1/2 a tank.

Cheers mate, just want I wanted to here. Currently running 450ish but don't plan to go anywhere near the above so its nice to know the bosch can support that

Only have 800cc injectors which I expect will max mid 500's anyway.
