You don't have to, but it will struggle if you've got a few mods or a decent amount of boost.

Having said that, i got 194kw atw with the stock one...but it didn't last long haha

yeah, as rupe said, it will last for a bit but then will crash and burn. if you've got an A/F ratio gauge just keep an eye on it. If you don't have one, get one

Walbro make a 255 Lph one that'll be fine for you, and it plugs straight in.
