No, its not needed for your set up at this time. If you plan on doing anything else you will need to upgrade your ECU next.

Piggy back fuel controllers are not very effective.

The stock air box works as a restrictor even with a K&N. If you decide to get a true intake then yes, you will need to upgrade your ECU.

A pettit or M2 ecu will be the best ways to do it headache free. If you plan to get a little more crazy down the road I'd suggest an Apex Power FC, but it costs almost twice as much.

Piggy-backs like the HKS unit and the Apex S-AFC won't work for your FD.
