Will I hit fuel cut?

I have searched, but did not find an answer.

Will I hit fuel cut if I have a K&N drop in filter, and no cats (3 inch pipe from turbo to stock Y Pipe).

Everything else is stock.

Thanks

unless you're running an upgraded fuel pump and FCD than will it last for more than 1 - 2 weeks?

Thanks! exactly what I wanted to know.

Will I still hit fuel cut if I have a stock filter and replace the pre cat with a downpipe and keep the main cat?

Thanks

I use this as a rule of thumb.&nbsp Roughly...

K&N air filter panel +1psi
Cone filter +2psi
pre-cat replacement w/downpipe +2psi
main cat replacement w/straight pipe/pre-silencer +2psi
cat-back +2psi
TID replacement +2psi

Stock Zenki boost 5.5psi
Stock Kouki boost 7.5psi

Stock Zenki fuel-cut ~6.5psi
Stock Kouki fuel-cut ~8.5psi
(I believe these fuel-cut numbers are debateable - I don' t have them memorized.)

is it bad to hit fuel cut, or just annoying if you want more boost? Will it hurt anything?
