The optional 10-micron filter provides top-tier filtration with minimal pressure drop, protecting the HPFP and injectors from debris. Highly recommended for optimal performance and system longevity.
Tuning Requirements:
Calibration changes are necessary when installing the FX-170. These changes must be applied before starting the car to prevent damage and voiding the warranty. Spool Performance offers assistance in connecting customers with established tuners and provides calibration details for custom tuning.
Low Pressure Fuel Pump Upgrade:
Proper low-pressure fueling is critical to maintaining HPFP performance and durability. Inadequate low-pressure fueling can damage the pump piston and bore. To avoid this, ensure the fuel system is appropriately upgraded with low-pressure components.
