Get an intake I made 252 bhp standard with evoms
And I'm now on stage 1 + a car needs air especially with forced induction, I had it fitted on stage 1 initially and never noticed any low end torque missing but I tend to drive in the upper rpm  :driver:
I fitted a hpfp before I was on stage 1+ and still on stage 1 it made no difference as I was meeting required it will make a difrence if you have revo ect and can tweak settings

I would say an intake is more important for stage 1 than a HPFP...... especially for the money / mechanical issues.

Fitting the EVOMs I have noticed no drop in low end torque. And besides that it's a turbocharged petrol they are not designed to be driven like diesels.

From all of this...find a tuner you trust and ask their opinion and see where you go with it.

Not sure where you are in the country but I'm in Portsmouth so I gave my car to JKM to sort out. My suggestions are just some of the things that were carefully explained to me while I was trying to find a way from stage 1 to 2/2+ economically. I learnt that there are many co-dependencies when considering introducing certain pieces of hardware and it transpired that there wasn't a cheap way to do it so proposals were made based on their expertise & experience to do the best thing by the car.

Just to reiterate, a fuel pump is not essential for stage 1 and most tuners wouldn't tell you need it. I was trying to point out that sometimes they can struggle but probably most are fine.

Not clear on what mechanical issues an intake addresses so can't comment on that.

As said ITG Maxogen, Evoms, Revo or Forge Twintake. :happy2:
