you only want to upgrade your fuel system when your mods can potentially overwhelm it. most do the fuel pump/injectors when they get to the point of cams and larger turbo. you shouldn't need it with your basic boltons.

It's not as important on the IXs as it is on the VIIIs because the pump is a little beefier, but you may want to ask your tuner before you get the tune. The issue is if a turbocharged car runs too lean, it will detonate causing major damage to the motor.
