Default what type of fuel pump ?

what different applications require an inline or an intank fuel pump ?

when you ad an inline fuel pump, do you completely bypass your stock pump ?

An inline pump is a supplement to your intank pump. For high pressure applications like FMU setups, an inline pump is better suited. For lower pressure/large injector setups, an intank will do fine.

does it matter where the pump is mounted in the fuel system ? I see many turbo kit users mounting theirs in the engine bay, but i have heard that its better to mount in the rear as the pump pushes better than it pulls...

This should tell you all you need to know concerning inline pumps.
