Fuel pump upgrade question...

Could be a stupid question, but would I run into any problems installing a walboro 255 with the off the shelf stage 2 map?

I think I asked that before...I'm pretty sure that is a no-no with base maps

I've chatted with WORKS before on the phone about that issue and they said on the evo 9 the need to upgrade the FP wasn't necessary until larger turbo or cams....but whatever...as soon as I get Protuned we're gonna slap on a walbro just to be safe.

Just install them the day before your tune date and try to stay out of boost on the drive there.

Complete Engine Failure

Not really sure....maybe cobb can answer that...your best bet is to call them as they don't surf in here too often

I really doubt you will have any problems since your going to get a protune. Do it!!!!
