You don't need one.I have never ran one on my car.But if you run alcohol they make it nice for keeping your oil from getting milky.They do help power sometimes not always and you will have atleast a $1,000 bucks plus alot less room.

If your going to put one on it put the best on it.There is no better pump than a star vacuum pump.

That's what I'm talking about... Some say yes I need one others say no. I'm running e85 and most likely no more than 16lbs of boost.
