Bosch 044 Pump 120.00
Adjustable Fuel Reg 100.00
Sytec Filtre Pre Pump 60.00
Rubber Hose & Fittings 25.00
About as good as any Road / Track car will ever need
and a long way shy of the CA fix.
But as I said the hose alone is a simple easy fix for
a Car that does some Track days.

As I said if you want to be tight then yes you can do it this way, however the oem pump is definitely not up to the job, especially the old ones most of us have in our cars. They may pump that pressure when new, but they have been proven to be losing up to 10 psi at high rpm as they age.
Hey you are only risking engine damage that's all! So yeah go cheap.
I am not saying buy the CA kit, to be fair it's expensive however it is the best solution, but yes you can do this yourself with a bit of effort.
