intercooler tune?
I currently have a BR TBE, BR cone filter, BR MAF PIPE w/ Breather filter, BR UICP, BR mini battery, 1g bov, dyno flash, SAFC II w/ Buschur settings, turbo xs MBC.
My question is, I'm planning to install the BR racing intercooler with lower intercooler piping, Will I need to install a 255lph fuel pump or not? I'll be running stock boost. Also, if I don't need the fuel pump, will I need to retune or will it be ok til I get my data logger?

You pretty much have the same mods I have, and I have the mail in flash. I was still running very rich with those mods, 10.7afr to be exact and I do have a walbro fuel pump. I used the afc to tune to 11.1. Running about 16 degrees @ 7000 rpm 20 psi. You probably wont have to retune, but I am running boost off ecu @20psi flat so not sure. Just borrow a wideband and dial it in.

My only problem is that I don't have any way to get it tuned when I put the intercooler on. I was thinking that if it would be safe to go ahead and put it on, I could get the fuel pump and take it somewhere that we could see what's going on b/c I'm still in the process of getting a datalogger. I just don't know if I would run too lean once the intercooler's on. The last time that the ecu was flashed was when I put the intake and tbe on.

Well, he tuned the car when I had just intake and tbe. I'm definitely getting the fuel pump and then getting a new tune. Thanks for the help everyone.

Well, I decided that I'm gonna go ahead and install the ic and piping and change out the crappy turboxs mbc to a forge, order the fuel pump, and then take the car to vip garage and have warrtalon tune the car with everything on it. I had the turboxs bc on the car since I bought it and didn't realize that it was such a piece of $#!T.

I just installed the Buschur race front mount and it did affect my tune. It leaned the car by .3-.4 a/f, the cooler and denser air from the intercooler will lean out the mixture.

PM importimage if you're looking for a 255 fuel pump. I got my Walboro w/install kit for $85 shipped 2 weeks ago. That price is hard to beat, and as you said you really do need a fuel pump at this point.

What are you talking about, you have an afc. find someway to log air fuel with a wideband or get a pocketlogger and just try to get your af around 11.1 and you will be fine.
