Re: Gen 5 fuel pump questions

I assume most are just powering off of a key on accessory and it runs all the time. I can add an oil pressure sensor to shut off the pump when the motor is not running for safety which is probably what I will do. What else has been done?
Thanks,

Curious why to avoid pwm? Uses stock oem pump, more reliable, easier to install in some ways (no return) and cost ends up about the same as an aftermarket return style system. Benefits to loosing the recirc system as well, less fuel heat, longer pump life and lower amps to fuel pump required during normal daily driving. Used the Vaporworx controller on my LSA with their super fuel module. Really just a CTSv fuel module which is no longer available from GM.
The Vaporworx controller in my system is shut on and off by the ECU. I get a prime function and pump will shut off when engine is not running.
