Not essential , but you should find a little bit more hp when you do.

I would absolutely get it checked asap and i'd be surprised if a remap isnt required.

AFAIK the ECU only monitors fuel pressure and so with a pump throwing what could be 33% more fuel at the same pressure then you're running much much richer.

Getting it checked anyway as I think the fuel pump was weak last time it was mapped 5 weeks ago
