for fuel pumps, as pressure drops, flow increases. i understand your theory but emptying a 2L surge tank simply wont be an issue in this case. even if hes making 300 odd rwkw with a really rich tune it would take more than 40 seconds sitting on peak power with absolutely no flow from the lift pump to empty a 2L surge tank and thats being conservative. As per the orignal post, the real issue here is heat and that doesnt come from short bursts at WOT, fuel gets hot after circulating around and around while driving normally. using the standard wiring the 044 is going to be flowing less than its rated for, its only going to get hotter once it gets a full 14v.
Also i'm not sure about other situations but for me i'm almost certain my fuel gets too hot from the pumps (proper low pressure lift pump, 2L surge and 044), not from the engine bay.
Stock 31 fuel tanks are shocking for surge, especially s1 and s2. if you drive them with any sort of aggression it surges to the point of a complete fuel cut with anything under 1/2 a tank.
