You should be ok with just a 190lph fuel pump. If you go with teh 255 then you will need a fuel pressure regulator... and thats jsut a pointless expence because you wont be maxing out the 190lph pump.

Not to mention you will need a wideband to tune the SAFC-II with and a boost gauge too... It is also recomended that you get a FMIC for this turbo because the stock SMIC is soo restrictive. I recomend the one from www.dejonpowerhouse.com the one for $499.

i agree with sebba, i would stick with the 190 becuase from what ive heard the 255 is alittle harder to tune also. So just save yourself the trouble. And the stock smic is fine if you dont plan on running more than 18 psi on the turbo, but after that youll need an upgrade.

Both of you guys did you read the origanal post and notice it said FPR so no reason to not go with the 255lph pump

i saw that he said he was gonna get it, i just dont see if hes not gonna need the larger fuel pump, then why not just get the smaller one and save him alittle trouble.

I saw it too.

Im guessing he wants to go over 18psi because why else would you bother with all the fuel mods just to get 3 more psi?

That SAFCII works good enough he wouldnt need the wideband.. You can adjust it and test drive the car, and get it pretty damn close to perfect.. I was new with it and once I learned how to use it well, it was simple to tune..

Ok this is a very very bad idea. How the hell are you supposed to tune a car without knowing exactly what the motor is doing. What are you supposed to do, just by the way it feels

I wasnt going to say it... at thhis point... im going to say... do what you want... just remember that it was against my advice. This reminds me of the guy that thinks he can tune with a narrowband... UGH!
