Yes, you need to have the car tuned for those injectors. I wouldn't run it anymore until you get it tuned, you're dumping more fuel into it now.

You can send it to your tuner to either put a base tune on it so you can drive it to him to tune it for all of your other mods you've done. Or he can just tune it for those injectors if that's the only changes you've made and be good to go.

I sent mine off and had a base tune for my turbo build so I could drive the cars 4.5 hours to get it tuned. It was $150 but that was taken off of the street/dyno tune price once I brought the car to him.

Yup needs a tune, you're literally dumping twice the fuel in the motor with those injectors and stock fuel tables.
