Default Anything i should be aware of with this lot?

My car (my99) goes in on monday for the following mods,

TD05 FE
GT Headers inc Up pipe
Wallbro fuel pump
3 port solenoid
GEMS ECU (bye bye MAF)

Question is, are there likely to be any problems with this setup that i should make the tuner aware of before we start tearing the car to bits?

Cheers!

If you're upping the Fuel Pump, then surely you may aswell fit an Adjustable Pressure Regulator aswell!?? eg one from Lateral Performance or such like.

Plugs?? NGK 7's would be a good idea too.

Uprated fuel pump can defeat the OEM fuel regulator, nothing a GEMS can do about that!

It is usual to fit a SX or FSE etc. fuel reg when fitting a higher flow / pressure fuel pump.

7 grade plugs are harder and cooler running, suit a modded engine better, but may foul up more often on std motor?

7's will be fine on a Euro phase 2 with td05 at sensible pressure.
