I'm looking in getting either one of the turbo kits... but could anyone tell me, what would be an optimal fuel system to go with?? Is there a way to make sure not to run lean up till 10psi??? thnx.

From my experience, and what others on this board post, both kits have their good points and their bad. As far as fuel is concerned, you shouldn't run into too lean of a mixture with either kit at 10psi. Over that I would start to look at larger injectors and a Fuel Computer of some sort (AFC, Haltech, etc...). If anyone knows different please correct me, especially before I turn up the boost...

I think you pretty much nailed that one down pretty good ! 10psi is definetaly the max for our stock injectors but not a max for our internals. I would be really careful boosting 10psi on those 230cc injectors. Just be sure to watch your A/F gauge and your EGT !!

I would say get a set of 310 injectors since our cars can run them on the stock ECU, and if you get a star kit, get the Super FMU instead of the normal 12:1 FMU. Since you'll have the larger injectors, you would probably only need to raise fuel pressure at a 10:1 or so ratio. Plus, with the Super FMU, you can fine tune it better to see slightly more power. Just get a good EGT gauge, and an A/F gauge, and you'll be good to go. i wouldn't really recommend running 10 lbs. on the stock injectors. It works, but they are seeing massive amounts of pressure in them. 310's would leave you on the safe side.
