Yes, but if you're buying a new kit, ATI supplies one.

I bought a used one, so do you have any suggestions on one that I could buy? or does ATI sell an aftermarket one that would be better than any of em.

I'm not sure what all aftermarket pumps will work, but you can buy another in-line pump from ATI for about $165.

That depends on your setup. If it's a bone stock engine and you're only running 9 psi or so and the FMU, the stock injectors will be fine. The preferred way to go would be to ditch the FMU and use larger injectors along with some custom tuning.

Do our cars come stock with a FMU, and if i were to get bigger injectors would i not need an FMU?

Our cars don't come stock with an FMU, but the ProCharger kit does. Bigger injectors and some tuning could def. eliminate the need for an FMU.

Change your fuel filter and make sure your ignition system is up to par.

I would say new cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. (Bare minimum)
