Helix TMIC is a no-go. Ed said it wouldn't be beneficial...

I will say this, I have the Titek CDP from Mike and I love it.

I would get the walbro 255 as well if you're going stage 2.

I dunno, I saw cbe for sale, liked it then bought it. I really really really miss my JiC 505 SS Bullet. It was as close to a one piece as you can get, it was a pipe that ran all the way to the rear bumper almost with a decent sized 4" canister that slipped on over the pipe.

As far as needed a fuel pump I have been assured that there in no real critical need in order to go Stage 2. I guess if i need it I will get one soon enough. Anyone else to put in their $.02 on this matter??

Jurg, did you end up selling your wheels before you traded in your car or sold it???? I really liked your wheels too.

I would buy the fuel pump. You can leave the injectors alone but the fuel pump is pretty much a need for Stage 2.

stage 2 will max out your injectors and you want to make sure that your fuel pump is not struggling when your injectors are trying to run at near 100% IDC. It's critical on an 07 but not sure about the 04. I think you can get by without it but I'd still do it for peace of mind.

edit: I should have said stage 2 protune. If you just plan on running the OTS map then u should be fine staying stock but if you want to get protuned and run ~20psi then I would strongly recommend a fuel pump.

Cool cool, thanks much appreciated.

Yeah just want to run the Stage 2 program on the AP for now. Cmon almost 3 years of owning my car, and I now get the itch for a little more power. It should be suffice, I hope. Fuel pump is not hard to do, helped do schell's wagon, and is not too expensive.

It's called cheap insurance from what I was taught before I pulled the trigger on stage 2.

An $85 fuel pump that you can install yourself, why not do it for the peace of mind. You add it later and you'll have to get re tuned and that will cost you more $$$$$$.
