Re: do i need a tune on stock injectors/fuelpump?

I think what he's getting at is......If he turbo'd the car but kept the stock injectors and pump, would it have to be tuned, right? Of course it needs to be tuned dumbass, but if you're paying someone to tune it make sure you have you're enitre setup complete like injectors'n'---- before the tune, since changing them out afterwords will require a new tune.

haha but for real, dont bother with a tune until your actually boosted. stock cars have very good stock maps, and no one here will tell you its ok to use stock injectors on anything more than about 3-4 pounds boost. tune should be the second to last part of the project, the last is to enjoy all your hard work paying off. big hint though, dont skip out on the good tuning stuff. its actually cheaper in the long run than buying other tuning stuff. use crome or uberdata or any of the other good free ones.

At first I knew what he was on about , now I'm so confused I can just

Don't even drive your car around the block without upgraded injectors/fuel pump or some kind of fuel management. Even an FMU would be better than nothing. If you can't afford to get injectors/fuel pump right now just wait to put the turbo on once you have everything ready.
