Currently running my MY00 Classic with Full De-cat, K&N Panel Filter and a PE mapped TEK ECU.

According to PE it's pushing out 284BHP and 271lbft.
Boost is around 1.1BAR in the lower gears
and about 1.2BAR in the higher gears.

Knocklink is quieter then it was on the standard map.

Would it be worth uprating the fuel-pump. If so will it bugger up the AFR and require a re-map.

As far as I'm aware, anything over 300bhp and the oem fuel pump can't cope. If you've got an afr gauge then you'll be able to see if its running lean. Which I think would be an indication that you need to look at uprating the pump, and probably the fuel regulator as well (so you can richen it up a bit).

Obviously getting it re-mapped after fitting the pump and regulator would be worthwhile.

yes it may well bugger up afr with new pump.

if AFRs are good, then I would leave alone.
