Installing a bigger pump means that you need bigger returning fuel output from the FPR. Stock 3bar FPR of Bosch is too tight and the hole is too small.
Change to aftermarket one with 3bar FPR for performance use for high flow pumps so the FPR let the fuel easier to flow through it.
By removing it and comparing it to a 4bar or any other performance one you will see what I mean
This is your problem
You are right! that makes sense.Car is well maintained, no vacuum leaks.I'll by a 4bar aftermarket FPR and I will see if this solves the problem.
Thanks!
