i might put it on tommorow and just run stock boost to see how it is....
i whish i knew what PSI. would match to the 14 im running on the stock turbo right now..
and i might sell my rtek and SAFC and get me the megasquirt....
i also gots to get me a fuel pump since the FD just wont be able to flow......
and secondairies..but what size to get????

You need a standalone at this point. Then you can easily run any injector you want. Like 4 x 720CC.

got the HIGGI elbow ordered and on the way. now im gonna start looking for a intercooler off of ebay. buy some bent exhaust tubing and get it fixed right...
i spent yesterday cleaning under the hood with purple power degreaser and a tooth bursh..FUN!!..
when i get all my parts for the IC setup, ill take off the front bumber and re-do all the IC and weld it up and prob. paint and clearcoat the lines just so it looks cleaner..
i will put on that turbo since i measured it myself and found out its NOT what i thought it was supposed to be..IVE BEEN HAD!!.. and i cant get him to refund me so i guess ill still use it...its only good for 10-15HP over the stock so i really dont think i need bigger injectors...ill just get a bigger fuel pump for saftey reasons...
i also installed a rear strut bar today

been running the TO4B turbo for about 2 weeks now....little better than stock i guess....pulls better in 1ST and 2ND IMO but its hard to tell since it sat for almost 2 weeks (the car) ...turns out that when i got that turbo it was FRIED....smoked like a BBQ festival.....i got it rebuilt (by myself..) and got it up and running..still havent done anything with the IC setup i have....got all the leaks fixed and im currently pushing about 14LBS. of boost.....i dont crank on it very much since i dont trust the stock rad. anymore as far as cooling and i dont trust my IC. im currently moving to another house so i cant really get more parts at the moment but when i save some cash ill update this thread...
