Default rsx type s with greddy turbo

My friend has the type s with the greddy turbo, he has spent nearly 5000 dollars to have it installed and he is running about 190 to the wheels. Surprised? He is running 7 pounds of boost with no intercooler. The car is decent, but isnt tuned right. generally on a hot day when he gets on the throttle it detonates and when Vtec hits, the timing retards( it doesnt do it al the time) and the power drops off. Some think that the air fuel is off. I think that he needs to get a bigger fuel pump to compensate for the increased air being pushed in the cylinders. He is going to have it taken in to have it looked at. Does anyone know or concur with me that the fuel pump isnt pushing enough fuel? I have seen his dyno and when Vtec hits the fuel drops off. I know with this Turbo he can get alot more power to the wheels. An intercooler would be the first thing that I would do, well after he gets the tuning fixed. Thoughts? I can keep this up to date for all those who are thinking of putting the greddy turbo in their type s's
