I've not installed the kit yet so I can't speak for ease of use, but I've used similar meth injection controllers before, and those kits are deceptively easy to use. Just two settings, where do you wanna start and where do you wanna stop? If you can set up a hobbs switch you can set this up.

Bryan of GST's review of the double pumper can be found right here.

I can see the advantage of a progressive double pumper setup particularly on an E-85 car as you might need the 2nd pump to activate under certain part throttle scenarios. But, on pump gas and given a stock motored, stock framed turbo car, it might just be overkill.

P.S. I still have an XEDE on my car too, funny stuff. I feel like my car is using trapper keepers and slap bracelets everytime I see it. I'm getting rid of it as soon as it's back together.

I can see the tuning advantages of a progressively activated second pump, as opposed to a Hobbes activated, on/off switch, in the hands of a talented tuner like Bryan. I have no argument there actually.
Parenthetically, If I lived in the States then I would have Bryan tune my Evo exclusively. That dude knows his sh**tzky. So, if he likes the progressively introduced secondary pump...then it must have its advantages.
However, having said that, I personally prefer a Hobbes activated secondary pump over a full time on double pumper such as the FullBlown setup. This is inspite of TedB's preferences.
Granted, that it is just my opinion, but I have run a couple staged double pumpers in the past and they are relatively simple to setup and there is no excess fuel volume to deal with under part throttle/low boost scenarios. Thus, there is no need for a larger diameter fuel return line or drilling out restrictor orifices

There is no additional need for extra equipment other than the progressive controller itself. It can be as simple as a hobbs switch if you so choose and be identical to the other double pumpers, but at a better price point.
