I'm afraid I don't know anything about turbos, but if it wants to die immediately, I wouldn't think that it would be the pumps. But it wouldn't hurt to check fuel delivery, and it's better to check at the fuel return line, where you should get one liter (quart) in 30 sec. Can you hear the intank pump running at the filler spout? Is the main pump noisy? The main pump would have to be pretty far gone not to deliver at least enough to keep it idling.

As for an upgraded pump, I wouldn't think it would make much difference. The function of the main pump is to generate pressure, and the excess is just bled off to the fuel return line which carries it back to the tank. Bigger pump just means more fuel going back to the tank.

You'll probably get more information on the Turbo Bricks site if higher performance is the route you're going.
