No it is not. You'll need a Walbro and no need to upgrade fpr.

No need to upgrade the FPR.. you can also run walbro on the stock ECU. Ive been running it like that for 10k miles at least



So are you getting the SOS kit? I think mine is shipping next week

No bro, no SoS kit for me. I need everything for the install, i mean EVERYTHING. The kit, clutch, gauges, injectors etc.....with everything it was over 7grand and i couldn't afford it. I just bought the pump for 80 bucks, put a SoS clutch on the credit card and im buying a full inline pro stage 1 turbo kit from someone in the FI forum for 4000. He's giving me injectors, gauges and AEM EMS. I couldn't say no. Will be giving a down payment tomorrow and paying him off within the month sometime.

Thats cool, turbos are fun too
SOS Sport clutch?... might want to cancel that.. its only good to 250ft lbs, How much boost are you going to run & with what turbo? Get a Comp Clutch stage 3 or something with similar capacity
with my Inline Pro style kit I made 285wtq

upgrade to a walbro and no need to do FPR or fuel rail.
I would get some ID1000's and tune.

dont buy anything till you do your homework!

if you're going turbo you can't use that clutch. it wont last you long.

do some research, come up with a target powerband and get back to us.

been looking at the competition stage 2 and clutchmaster stage 2. leaning towards clutchmaster because it comes with the throwout bearing, competition does not.

you're correct about the comp 3 not being available anymore. i was just doing the same research a couple of weeks ago.

i ended up going with the clutchmasters fx300 (stage 3). its a reworked stock plate with a wacky 8puck/full disc design. it feels great so far. since all the CM clutches are the same price, you might as well go FX300 in case you ever want to up the power.
