Default At stock boost w/ blue box, do I NEED to upgrade my fuel pump?

I'm looking to get a basic greddy kit and run STOCK boost levels(5.5 psi-7 psi). Do I have to upgrade my fuel pump, or injectors for that matter? Or any part of my fuel system? I have a 1G DSM BOV and a 1G SMIC.

Cliff notes: Is the blue box all I need with a greddy turbo setup?

I like to play it save and always upgrade the fuel pump on turbo applications, I suggest you do the same.At some point you will want to turn up the boost anyway.Your stock injectors will be fine for now.

The Apex was a groupbuy, but I haven't seen it that price anywhere since then.

wayyy back from the dead... i'd like a solid answer. (and no "uberdata this" or what not..)

on a stock d16y7 with stock 240 injectors, would you need to upgrade the fuel pump or get a rising rate FPR in conjunction with a blue box? or any other components im overlooking..?

also, with the blue box running the motor hella rich, any compensation to equal out a/f #'s? (upping the boost i assume, right..)

from what ive learned here on HT the Blue box is pre-tuned for only the 310cc injectors. And its tuned to run rich. I bought a walbro 255 fuel pump to attempt to cure check engine code (running lean, and still not solved).

It wouldnt hurt to by a new fuel pump, you might need it down the road anyway.
