fcd or fuel pump?

Here is my dilema. I've heard people saying that you should get an FCD then once you have more mods get a fuel pump. Others say to get a fuel pump first, then get a FCD. What do you guys think? I don't wanna blow my motor, but i also don't want to spend on something i don't need. I have an s4 TII all stock. Thanks in advanced

I always do these three mods first, and all at the same time:
-Port wastegate
-fuel pump
-fcd

does the turbo have to be removed to port the waste gate? I've heard some people port it by themselves, is there a writeup?
Thanks

Yes, it must be removed.
Ted has a good website for porting... but I can't seem to load www.fc3s-pro.com.

step one boost gauge.

both the FCD and fuel pump are useless with just those 2 things... I'm asuming you plan on doing other stuff after?

Well in your sig it says you are all stock. If you get a high flow fuel pump you will run rich and probably get a little worse gas mileage.

ok. Doesn't the ecu control the flow though? I mean, when the o2 sensor reads rich, doesn't it regulate the fuel pressure?

Thanks

I believe the o2 sensor only helps on highway cruising speeds. It puts the ECU in loop mode so you dont use more fuel than you need. Not sure if I had all the details correct or not. Anybody wanna back me up or correct me?

if your gonna get one of em go with the fuel pump first just so u wont have to do it later. when your stock there is not much use for an fcd . but be sure to get the fcd when you get an exhaust because u will get boost creep and port that wastegate


a safc wouldn't hurt either
