Aftermarket Fuel pumps

So we all know about the fuel pump problems people have on the N54s, so has any manufacturer developed an aftermarket fuel pump for the car? Walbro high capacity/high flow fuel pump?!?! Figure in case it goes bad, might as well upgrade to something better esp. if u have a piggy back/ecu flash. Alot of people neglect their pump, esp when they push more boost than stock and although fuel pumps can usually increase flow that extra duty on the pump can wear it down faster. Why has nobody developed an aftermarket fuel pump?!?!!?

Unfortunately the direct injection thing really limits things as its relativity newly implemented technology.

Maybe we can use the M3s system though since it's a higher HP application.

Well, from what I've heard there is quite a difference from the regular Walbro fuel pumps you see on ebay and the one that is in our cars.
