A NEWB IN HELP.. MY TUNE IS IN 2HOURS!!!

Do I need to upgrade the fuel pump for my tune, cause the tuner shop that I'm going to is telling if I wanna max out the Turbo, the tune is gonna require a Fuel pump, and ofcourse a boost controller, he also said he recommend me buying a new set or spark plugs that he has Evo drivers use when he tunes them something to do with the heat, guessing they're iridium which is not bad for $43

my question is do i really need the upgrade the fuel pump, isn't the fuel system, the same as the evos?

MY current upgrades are CONE intake, SSvQIII BOV, 3in Turbo - back then ofcourse if you throw in the two other things this guys is suggesting then I would also have the spark plugs and fuel pump

 

I think you will max out the stock ralliart turbo before the fuel pump. If you upgrade to a larger turbo, then you may need to upgrade the fuel pump.

 

My tuner has never suggested upgrading the fuel pump or a boost controller. Unless they changed something for the 2010's, the RA comes with Iridium plugs. I changed my spark plugs just for ***** and giggles but I'm just running OEM Evo X plugs.

Oh, and I am running the X turbo.

 

so I should just get a tune and not worry about the fuel pump and plugs, but wouldn't i need a Boost controller? to bring up and the boost, for times when the max boost I can achieve is not needed, like if I race then I raise it and if I'm just cruising I can lower it?

 

What kind of numbers do you all except I'll make with this setup, stock I was 192/212.. and I put on the intake, BOV, exhaust, but stock piping and Front mount. Maybe between 260-280 WHp and 260-290 WTq?

 

I heard somewhere that boost controllers arent supposed to be used with the SST, cause thats what the boost pill is for. Get a pill and then have them tune it with pill.

 

Thats right I remember reading about that on AMS's website, thanks for bring that to my attention. LOL but were can I get one in a hour??

Can a tune be done with out a pill or Controller? just strictly ECU? or does it need something to regulated like one of these two, cant they set up a safety on th ECU to know when to regulate?


Thanks again totalownage, this is were I remember reading it http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...oost-Pill.html

 

Theres any way I can find a Boost pill at any shops? around houston?

 

Stock fuel pump is fine for ANYTHING the stock RA turbo can dish out on pump gas.

RA spark plugs are 1 step *warmer* then the Evo 10 plugs. FYI

For stock turbo, they are fine, upgrading to larger turbo, I would swap to Evo 10 heat range.

The stock ecu is a better boost controller then almost anything currently on the market, and it came with the car.

so I would have to cancel the tune till I get this pill to come in?

 

thanks guys I just canceled the tune for 3-5 days till the Pill comes in!!

 

If you ordered a GST pill, I would plan on 2-3 weeks, unless something has changed recently and they have improved their order processing.

 

Yeah. They've been having some issues with their ordering system.

 

240 whp 270 torque.

and you do not need a fuel pump

 

Ya my boost pill never came in, I just received an envelope with an invoice and no boost pill lol. There was a small cut out hole so I think someone stole it, possibly the mail man lol. I didn't even want to bother because it would probably take another 2 weeks to get one from GST so i just got a grimmspeed 3 port boost solenoid from a friend. That is another alternative from boost control
