The FI pump is controlled by the computer.  This is a safety feature. 
It prevents the pump from running on after an accident when gasoline 
might be spilling.  In my opinion this is an important point; I would 
not underestimate its value.

Why not just use the standard mechanical pump?  This works fine, does 
not require a pressure regulator, and is inherently safe since it 
stops when the engine stops.
