Hello mate , yeh def will need a remap , if you put a diff turbo on anything it shud work jst fine jst without the power increase your looking for , with a remap your ecu software will be suited to the new turbo , same with the uprated fuel pump , nt to sure if you can bolt those on without a remap and the engine will run fine , mre than likely will need the same as with the turbo so your engine management runs in tune with your more powerfull tuning parts hope this helped ya buddy

Yes you will need a remap, not so much because you wont be getting the best out of it, but because you could be looking at a rebuild very soon.


Your stock ECU will not be mappable as it is, you will need to get a replacement, best speak to someone like JGM, API, ZEN etc etc for your mapping needs.

As has been said you need a remap due to turbo change..

Standard manangement as you said is not remappable.. you need something like Apexi PowerFC, SimTek, Link etc..
