fuel upgrades needed?

I'm thinking about rigging up a supercharger kit from ProCharger. The turbo kits everyone has been doing at 12psi or whatever, is that on the stock ECU and fuel system? I've searched on here and tried to get an idea for what everyone is doing but there's nothing really specific.
Is a pump/injector upgrade required or will I be kosher with just an S-AFC II?

Probably just have to re-tune the S-AFC II

if you want to run 12psi, i think u will be stretching the fuel supply. from what ES did, i guess the electronics will adjust automaticallly well enough for 5psi, but above that, you probably want to modify the injection and ignition. look at a wolf3d for engine management.

I was kind of hoping one of the guys that has a turbo kit would reply, I see RRM mentions fuel upgrades included in their turbo kit. Wonder what that all consists of (FMU, injectors, pump?).

RRM will not give specifics on anything they make... They do include larger injectors and FMU (piggyback comp), they don't mention a fuel pump but it wouldn't be a bad idea. What's another 150 bucks when you're buying a supercharger anyways? It would be worth it for the peace of mind if nothing else. Oh yeah, I don't know what size injectors come with it, I didn't want to get you're hopes up. I'm sure there's a mathmatical equation to figure out how many cc's you'll need to flow at a given hp level though.

RRM is also only pushing 8psi with their stage 1 kit. The stage 2 kit will probably bump it up to 12 or somewhere in there, but it's unknown what mods will be needed to make that. We've only seen RA's at 8psi and 20psi+ nothing in between those.

I looked at the RIPP SDS, I hate the layout. That big shaft running across the engine bay is an eyesore. I can make the same power with a much more compact installation using a ProCharger instead of some out-dated Vortech unit.
