( should have just changed my filter ) my two cents . Between my flywheel / clutch "upgrade " and this my new moto is if it ain't broke don't fix it lol . The problem of only improving one point of a stock system is the rest doesn't work together well . If you put in a lower bar fuel pressure gauge to make an aftermarket pump happy then you have to adjust the tune . It's a slippery slope .
My two cents

wish I didn't read your initial post about how the aeromotive pump really increased your top end pulls
My initial pump started going bad after 3-4 months, but you've probably put yours through a lot more wear and tear. Checking my air fuel ratios is probably my next step. Maybe a code reader can tell me about how the pump is performing too.
What about E46 M3s that use this in their HPF turbo setups, I didn't see them upgrading wiring in their install video. Is our car that different?
