I say No! not until you are adding MORE air, then you will need MORE fuel. Ie: intercooler, cams, are running higher boost, have an ecu flash. Not yet grasshopper

u only have 2 mods listed that actually GIVE you power. look at my '03 sig. i had to get a fuel pump cuz i run 25psi on 101 octane unleaded. once you flash & turn the boost up then you will need a fp.

You need an exhaust and tuning first. You could have bought these things instead of the intake/bov and be hauling ***...

Ok, then get a flash designed for just those mods.

for those mods you just need the 199 flash .. a custom flash wont do anything if you dont have an exhaust..

You send your ECU to Al@Dynoflash and have him program your ECU to run optimally for your mods: TBE, intake, BOV, MBC.

There are more vendors then just Al that do awsome tuning. I don't want to start the whole TurboTrix vs. Al arguement that's been beaten to death, but I'm partial to turbotrix tuning personally =p

I would agree if you were making as much mph in the 1/4 as Peteyturbo with his flash+test pipe (only mods). But then again, he's an 05 (cheater), and I don't know whose flash he has, haha.

Yeah, TurboTrix is awesome, too. I was only giving an example above...

You don't need a fuel pump unless you're making more than 350 to the wheel. And arp headstuds aren't needed unless you build the engine.
