> And BTW just ploping in bigger injectors on that stock ecu wont do shit for fueling a different sized turbo. Fact. stock turbo MAF sees around 240grams of air flow under boost. My old k04-022 saw 310+, my 3076R, dont know since I am mafless, but I bet that would suck well over 600grams if it had a maf. The ecu will flip out and not know what to do with that much air flow in the maf, infact it will throw a code for it. Also your poor ecu only adapts out +/-25% fueling. so in order to “watch your wide band” and add fuel pressure, to richen it up under boost, enough to have the ecu have a fighting chance of not pegging block 31 @ +25% the pressure would be so high, it wouldnt idle!

I’m hardly misinformed, the only thing you told me that I didn’t know already was that the diff will fail. It has a dual puck clutch in it that’s basically new. I’ve done a bunch of research about it. I apreciate the first hand advice though. I don’t really plan on keeping the car, I bought it to fix and sell basically…I’m not a huge fan of fwd. I just figured id have some fun with it before I put it up for sale. Thanks though!

Edit:  
Oh and btw, if the turbo isn’t sppooling, wouldn’t that cause the car to run rich due to the lack of airflow? Or am I just crazy…
