it is highly recommended. it's only 90 bucks with install kit. it'll take you 30 mins to put it in.

if you stock pump can't keep up with the injectors, you will go lean and KA BOOM!

where are you getting it tuned?

 

and if the clutch slipped then it would stop making power to the wheels...could be a problem

 

how many pulls did you make? i would think you would have been able to smell the clutch if it was slipping.

 

on my turbo EG i couldnt smell the clutch but i sure as hell could hear it...it sounded like a super charger haha....if i was you id try the fuel pump at least a 255 and then do a couple more pulls...oem clutch should hold 10psi i would think

 

I smelled the clutch after about 8 pulls, when they went for a test drive. Boosting for the first time.

edit- i drove the car today. Clutch is fine, but i have one to change out when i have to. Atif called me today and let me know the wideband issue was fixed now.

I guess i will get the pump, possibly a wideband, tires, and re-tune...

 

i got the pump and still no difference, my boost controller wont raise the boost by twisting it. btw its a turbo xs mbc. i guess ill have to get another one.

 

Free-up the cat. Do you have a stock cat? Get your print out. That will show you if your clutch is slipping......

 

it has a 2.5 inch high flow magnaflow cat, i dont know if atif has the printout. the horsepower and torque were going up smoothly , no jumps like if the clutch was slipping...

 

do you have a dump tube? Where is it dumping onto?

 

yes there is a dumptube. it is pointed to the ground
