I just plugged in an Xede.
Boost is set at 24lbs... do I need to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors, or do I just need a fuel pump?

I don't think you should be running 24 lbs of boost though, unless your using alky or race gas. Was the xede set to this when you got it? Maybe you're boost gauge is reading wrong.

Thanks,

thats what I figured, don't really want to drive the car hard without the pump.
I might as well get an A/F gauge too.

Yes, the Xede is set for 24 lbs. It also has a switch for 100/110 program as well.

I overran the pump with just a stage 0+ setup. It doesn't happen right away... after about 15 laps my EGTs started getting uncomfortably high. I think it was the same problem Shiv experienced after many dyno runs.

Fuel pump is a good idea. Cheap insurance
