I was wondering if there is any downfall of running a 255lph fuel pump if you have a smaller turbo (stock) and relativly low boost (18)? Is there any problem with running a higher volume fule pump ?

 

guys?

 

i was gonna run 15 lbs of boost on my stock turbo before it blew,so ur safe,thats why i bought the fuel pump,i wasnt planning on buying a bigger turbo,i bought the fuel pump just so can boost more,but since my turbo blew i said f*** it ill just get the evoIII

 

So is it ok to run a 255 even with the stock turbo and like 15lbs of boost? I am just wondering becuase I might eventually upgrade to evo III and if it is ok to do the 255 then I would rather not buy it twice.

 

Once you upgrade your fuel pump, you will need a air fuel pressure regulator to control it. Then once you have done that you will need something to tune your car to suffice for the amount of fuel your adding.

 

can you run that i high of boost on a stock turbo? i thought the max was like 8? or is that just what it's set up to do from the factory?

 

I think you can run as high as 13 or 14...............

 

Factory is 12. People run 15 all the time on the stock turbo.

 

well I am planning on running like 14 on stock turbo right now, do I need a new fuel pump? if I do could I just drop a 190 in and it would work?

 

15psi is fine on a stock fuel setup. It's the stock 2G bov that doesn't like anything over 10-11psi, sometimes even 8psi.
A 190lhp is fine, but I would suggest planning on what you want first then get the pump, injectors, turbo, AFPR. Save up and get it all at once or plan it, buy it piece by piece, but don't install any of it until you have everything you need in front of you. It doesn't improve performance when you install things piece by piece.
In the end, you can do it however you like, mine is just a suggestion.
