should'be bought the exhaust first then the boost controller.Yeah what is a tre fuel pump, hopefully you didn't get it of ebay.There are knock-off fuel pumps so buy parts carefully.my best advice is stick with ams/buschur or anyother vendor here with package deals,trust me you don't want to be buying twice like i did.good luck

Yes you can run 21 psi it will be fine. If anything goes wrong or the stock ecu see's something go wrong the stock ecu will pull timeing its like a safe mode you dont hurt anything. But with thouses mods your ok.

But if you want the best performance out your parts you got to get the car tuned. I would say with the mods your getting its really not needed untill you get the 272's cams I ran hks 280's fine on stock turbo and got great power out of it thats just a thought.

Anything outside of hks 280's is to much for stock turbo. The performance is the same as the 272's but a lil more top end. On a stock turbo you should see a good 10-25 whp depending on tune.

Aren't the 2005 turbos the same as the 9 turbos? Now if you had an 03 like me then the 9 turbo makes sense, which is why I am running one.
