run whatever pump you want, only thing you gotta do is drop the tank and run a draw straw.

if you have a dealer installed in tank pump you should have a aluminum block with fuel in and out under fuel filter, if not you will have a pump in same location with wires coming off it. or you could have a pump up under frame if it aftermarket. if you plan on making power just put drawstraw in and a frame mounted pump with factory engine mounted delete.

You need to make a realistic assessment of how much power you ultimately want to make... Draw straw? Or use a variant of drawing through the basket. ie through the stock line or a bigger hole still in the stock location.

i talked to my local diesel performance shop. they said 95mpg will be good for up to 500hp. which is pretty much were i would want to end up hp wise. im not looking to go insane but i want some power there when i want it. so heres my plan. the fass 95mpg then EJWA cts. then later some injectors and bigger turbo. what do you think?

Well the fass titanium LP is a good choice, water and air filtration 150gpm.
Oh and it GPM not MPG.
EJWA is a good choice if you want the digital read out for your gauges. If you didnt I would go with the edge comp box and some pillar gauges.
BUT before you go and throw all fuel to it I would defiantly beef up your trans..
Then or before you could do some exhaust upgrades 4'' turbo back MBRP is a good choice.
Injectors could be somthing to look for in the future-100-150 hp
The turbo would be the last I would look at... They get kinda pricey... And you really dont need one yet...

its gallons per hour GPH. and i would go with a FASS 150gph just to be safe. there only one hunderd or so more and its worth it if you ever get really power hungary and you wont have a smaller lift pump stopping you
