This brings me to a question which I have not yet been able to find an
answer to...

Background:  I'm am currently amassing in my Rossatobin the
pieces/parts to slide down the slope to RS2.  I have RS2 injectors,
RS2 EM, and some various small bits and pieces (gaskets and the like).
 Since I am past 100k miles, I am planning on replacing the fuel pump
at the same time, and relaying it as well.  Also, my plan is to retain
the stock MAF and cams, and also stick with MRC as my software
provider.

Here's the thing:  I want to go up a step, at least, in fuel pump.
005, at the very least.  If I keep my stock FPR, is this going to work
out with off-the-shelf RS2 software, or am I going to need to get some
sort of custom chipset?  The fueling end of the RS2 slippery slope has
me confused a bit.  I understand that some folks have a fuel delivery
problem at WOT with RS2 set-ups, and I DO NOT want detonation to be a
companion of my newly-found turbo powah.

Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me?

Eric.

P.S.  The idea of not having much "go" until after 3k RPM, but having
it all the way to redline appeals to me a lot.  Sedately driving back
and forth to work is nice with no worries about getting into boost
unexpectedly (I have a story about that...)
