I would seriously consider changing the fuel pump now as it will pose problems for you later. I have a boosted elantra and the N/A fuel pump is not up to the task because it just runs out of fuel at or around 12-14psi of boost. It sucks because you maybe wide open throttle (W.O.T) and forget that the fuel pump is not sufficient and end up grenading your engine.

I would get the 255lph unit only because the fuel pressure regulator regulates the amount of fuel needed to sufficiently keep the engine performing, so there's no real set back by getting the better pump.

Ya, definitely go with the Walbro 255, the aren't expensive and I believe you can find them on ebay for a good deal.Spend few dollars on the pump and have it replaced rather than costing you the engine because you might end up leaving the stock bump.
