and yes you can get a few days out of the motor before it blows remember a gt28rs is more then a t28 or even an s15 turbo so…

Even if it has enough injector, you still need a tune after a turbo swap. I didn’t hear you mention a street or dyno tune when you got the new turbo. There’s lots wrong with this situation- you need supporting mods as well. If it was running okay before, then you might be able to get away with it for a while and currently might not be contributing to your problem, but in the end, it will bite you in the a$$.

I was using a greddy emanage it was cheaper and piggy backed the ecu with my set up it was more then enough and no the stock ecu is not tunable unless your getting it chiped but thats not realy making it tunable its just making it tuned to a set of specs.  
should have bought a s14 t28 then saved up for everything at once.

should be gapped to 35 thou (0.9 mm)

by default, off the shelf plugs are usually gapped to 40-45 thou (1.1mm)
