I don't think you can run those with the stock ecu. I could be wrong.

I'm surprised the engine hasnt blown yet. You need an aftermarket ECU to handle this power. You will probably also need a fuel pump

With that mp, your boost is probably very high. And your stock Intercooler can not support it. Your car will run hot and pop. You should probably get a power fc if you still want to run the mp. If not , get a good high flow cat or stock cat and your car will stay at a safer boost level. I'd get a boost gauge, intercooler and a if you want to keep the mp a different ECU. Good luck.

It's hard to tell with some of these threads anymore.. I guess he wants to know (like the 152 identical threads that come up in a search) whether or not he is safe running the mods he listed on a stock ECU. I say yes. But not without boost control.

I'd put the dp on, but not the mp, not until you get a boost controller and different ecu. I'd also get an aftermarket intercooler if you're wanting a lot of boost.

well then, no you really shouldn't. you could get bad boost creap and pop your engine like everyone was saying. wait till ya get that ECU in there and get everything tuned properly. search around, this kinda stuff has been covered pretty extensively lately.

ecu... i recommend the PFC myself, for the time being you can use it as a boost controller also. its reliable up to around 14psi which is more than you'll be able to run on stock fuel components. then get the IC since you'll need the ECU to handle the IC also. the PFC will let you easilly get adjusted for new parts

If you run a dp, and a highflow cat or stock cat with a catback exhaust. Also a fmic of some sort and intake, with a boost controller, You do not NEED a different ecu. As long as you don't see any more than 12 psi. Mine is set up like this and runs strong. But if you're wanting more boost and what not, a power FC is a good investment.

If you dont put in an ECU programmed for your mods, you will be saving for a new engine
