It's just kind of weird that nobody's come up with a fuel surge solution in the course of boosting and building these cars yet. It's a known issue (I think?) and these cars aren't new to being boosted anymore so I had assumed that somebody would have looked at doing stuff with fuel pumps and senders in order to address fuel starvation issues at some or other by now.

Edit: something along these lines perhaps:

At least the heat seems manageable but I just hope that people don't automatically equate effective heat management and a good tune with being ''Reliable', particularly when driving hard.

Tracking a car that might suddenly stutter or run lean in corners just seems like a considerable risk to keep in mind, particularly if you're boosted and can't get a blown motor replaced under warranty anymore.

Apologies if off topic; figured that surge and starvation issues are somewhat related to cooling in the 'overall reliability' sense.
