I meant no personal offense, was just a silly question. Won't learn otherwise

But yeah, someone actually figured out (for the Mazdaspeed3/6 anyway) that the high-pressure fuel pump was basically the same thing that Audi/VW had been using on their TDI vehicles for a long time, and was able to adapt the higher-flowing pump to our cars with relative ease. The major difference is that most of those cars are running some form of FI, and the stock pump had major issues maintaining pressure with the increased boost being run on modified cars. Only time will tell if the FA20's stock HPFP will be able to keep up (which is entirely possible) with the mods/tuning the community comes up with.
