Fuel mods with bolt ons?

ok guys, i have a CAI, header, no cats and cat back exhaust. im looking into my next mods. i dont want to work away from turbo since im not sure if what im gonna be doing in the next year with my car. i was actually wondering if i put on a Fuel pump and FPR? would there be ANY reason NOT to do this? will i run too rich with more fuel? maybe are there any other types of mods i can do, maybe the cam gears and shaft from RPW? they would work with turbo right? help me out guys...thanks!

Get a rising rate FPR, hook it up and be done with it. Good to make some head room later on down the line. If you're going to go turbo, look into the turbo cam (gee, keeps the exhaust valves open longer, who'da thunk) and the gear. Don't know for sure if the lift on the cam would necessitate stronger springs though. AFC to tune it all especially if you with a ---> May want to bite the bullet on a header (especially RR's) if you're going to get their turbo since they use their return pipe methodology.

thanks P...so the rising rate FPR would be okay even tho i have nothing to back the fuel mods then right? i already have the kamikaze header, but that's not important right now heh. like i guess my real question is if i get the FPR it wont hurt right? would i be able to use the turbo cam and gear without the turbo? im planning on doing it small pieces at a time, well, until the turbo actually goes in, but i want everything else to be upgraded by the time that thing gets hooked up.

Yes you can use the turbo cam even without a turbo. It iwll still provide a small power improvement and you don't need valve springs to run a stage 1 turbo grind camshaft. If you went to a stage 2 turbo grind then you need valve springs.

Also consider the FPR is part of our complete turbo package with oversize injectors and other mods so speak with Vision Imports about the compatability of items that would provide power now and be compatible with a turbo kit.
