stock fuel pump is fine w/ TE. its only a must w/ AFC or an FMU.....

can you explain this to me bigwig.. why a TE tuned ECU doesnt need a fuel pump but an AFC hack does?

the ECU ROM basically does what the AFC does, only its coded into a chip instead of in the AFC unit. they are still controlling 450cc injectors and delivering the same amount of fuel...

.. actually, I dont get it wy you need to replace stock pump even for AFC? I mean... you don't push any more pressure to injectors.. and even 440's wont use so much gas that standard pump would fail?!

Bigwig is mistaken, you don't need a fuel pump. Maybe it's one of those "it'd be better issues" but you don't "need" it.
