I'll be chucking these mods on in the next couple weeks...just gotta look into this surge tank, is it really necessary to put it on or is there a good chance something will go wrong if I don't?

Always paranoid whether you have enough fuel in the tank otherwise. I would also be going bigger injectors and doing e85 as well.

When you accelerate hard, all the fuel swirls to the back of the tank and the pump can have issues. A Surge tank is insurance against the pump not picking up fuel and starving your engine of fuel. 1

Good insurance IMOI have owned 3 T6s ( sedans) and all needed a surge tank for my piece of mindover 300rwkw 2

Hidden from view, proven to work. Almost plug and play with the wiring kit.Alot better then a generic surge tank sitting in the boot.
