Will TPI fuel pump work in my RS?

I have a '92 RS with an LO3, 99% stock. I'm pretty sure it needs a new fuel pump. I will be doing an engine swap at some point in the next year and will most likely be converting to TPI, so my question is this: will a TPI fuel pump work on my car, or will it create problems such as overpowering the TBI pressure regulator?

Please help if you can, thanks!

I'm pretty sure the TPI pump will work fine, I just don't want it to throw off the fuel pressure regulator.

Although I still want to double check with you experts before I go buy a TPI pump!

Nope, its not a problem, you will be fine. The regulator sets the pump's pressure, and the pump wont overpower it.

PS: We only need to see your sig once per thread, please.
