High performance in tank fuel pump

My in tank fuel pump is toast.
Since I am going to modify my R56 anyway I was wondering if there is a better/higher performance in tank unit.
I remember seeing one on a website somewhere but cannot recall where.

I recommend that you search for the p/n and replace it with it.
If I remember correctly, the original fuel pump is Valeo brand.

i think greene performance (sp?) and walbro both make a pump that will work. ive never seen anyone try and put a metric to the stock pump's flow so it may be moot anyway. also with the replacements i seem to remember people have issues with level sender...something to do with shared power, different resistance with different pumps. been a while since i looked into it could be remembering wrong lol

Well.....I bought the pump from dealer. Installed it and the new pump is dead.
Then tested it outside and did not work. Dealer did not want to give a refund.
So I got a Bosch pump and shoehorned it in the oem assembly.
Car started right away.
Drove like a mile or so then got back home. Started several times with no issues.
After a couple of hours I went to start the engine (just to make sure....) and it supttered and missed like now I have a problem with the HPFP.
Going to double check everything before I spent more $$$.
