Lightbulb What about this setup?

Hi, I have the following mods on my car: Milltek catback, test pipe, Milltek downpipe, Invidia o2 housing, HKS SSQ bov which came with the upper i/c pipe and EIDS. As you expected my car is running rich, so I'm willing to change that.
I want to buy the Injen kit with the cone air filter and all the pipes lower and upper i/c pipes and go back to stock bov. or recirculate the hks ssq?? or buy the forge evo type rs bov?
After i want to do an e-tune. Buying an Walbro 255 lph High Pressure Pump will improve performance also? what about fuel consumption?

Please tell me your opinions about this setup, and give suggestions if have any. 10x

I would go back to the stock IX BOV which is fine until you run much more boost.

The fuel pump will not improve performance, it just allows the fuel pressure to keep up with the engine's demand. Once you install the fuel pump you'll need to be tuned so I would get that done at the same time as the other mods so that you get it tuned once.

yes, but cranking the boost up without being tuned for it is a no no

which boost controller would you recomend to that setup I mentioned above; I intend to tune it, but before I have to put the parts in the car.
P.S. i have put back the stock bov, it runs much better.
