It's all relative and mainly based on how much boost you are planning. At stock boost levels then all you really need is a fuel pump. But when you upgrad the turbo and/or increase boost you start to need upgrades. For only minor changes larger secondary injectors (as well as the fuel pump) are necessary and some way to control them (S-AFC).

Anything more radical and you are looking at a standalone. While it CAN be made to work on the stock ECU with piggy backs you will never have the control or reliability you can have with a standalone system.

Don't port if you can't do any fuel upgrades.
