I don't know the specs on the mechanical pumps... but you shouldn't have any problems. Most pumps (Mini or otherwise) can provide MUCH more flow at their rated pressures than the car needs. Your 1330 will consume more fuel, but not likely enough to give you problems.

If you just want a better pump, you can always invest in an aftermarket electrical pump and bypass the mechanical one. They're cool, yes, but not necessary unless you're REALLY racing.
