The only time you'll need to convert to an external is when a internal wallbro doesn't supply enough fuel for your needs. The would probably be a high hp turbo running straight e85.

at this moment i really havent went over the issue with it for as of now currently but for now i still have the stock pump in place. i know he says just to start out with is the Walbro 255 lph pump and regular fuel upgrade when i get to that part. Because thats been working fine with the current turbo systems.
