Smile need help don't know

My wife brought me an attitude with juice. I already have all the gages, boost,pyro,fuel pressure. The questions I have is do I send it back and get something else. I don't know that much about programmers or modules. I do some towing and would like some fuel milage and performance. I know some of these you tap the fuel injection wire. If my pump goes and I have to put another one on is there an after market company out there that warrenties there pump with the wire tapped. Thanks

U have a good woman there. If you can get a refund I would look at a smarty if not then get an edge comp and tap that pump.

I bought the Juice for two reasons, on the fly adjustability and the guage package. I see that you have guages already so this may not interest you as much as it did for me. How much power do you want, you could run the Juice w/o tapping the wire but you don't get that much out of it.

Nobody will warrenty a pump with a tapped wire.

Like others said, you don't have to tap the pump, but then it is just an expensive EZ. You can also go with a BD Stealth plate for the IP rather than tap the pump wire.

All of the pumps I am aware of do NOT warranty the pump with a tapped wire, and this includes Blue Chip. Also the stealth cover isn't so stealth, all pump shops will be able to tell if one was used or not. The covers worked well when they first came out but it didn't take long for DC and everyone else to become aware of them. Another issue with the covers is the material they are made from doesn't allow for heat transfer well, so the pump can actually get hotter than without one contributing to premature failure.
