    Get green top injectors from a volvo 240 or 740 turbo.

    Those are 29lbs (300cc), should save you some money.

      I am going to run megasquirt so I can ditch my afm and try and get a nice tune.

      I did hammer the firewall a bit around the head but not that much. But before I put it back in i need to hammer alot more so I can move the engine back. As it is now the wastegate hits the lower side of the strut tower and the turbo hits my motor mount.

      I'll check the junkyard for the green top's. Any other cars to look for with similar cc's? I know some fords had 28lbs

                  Will do, thanks for the kind words.

                  I dont want to run too much boost, I'll probably just keep the wastegate how it is around 9 or 10psi. If I had to estimate I guess it should should add atleast 100hp. Nothing like good and tights hw numbers though :(

                      Wow, nice. Are you going to be using the 745i ecu?


                      Looks like getting at the #4 plug will be fun...

                        Its going to be megasquirted.

                        I'm trying to get done as fast as I can, still need to get injectors, oil lines, and a new right side motor mount...

                                Some updates/questions...

                                Oil feed and pressure sensor installed.



                                These two connections... Where do they go??



                                And these two vacuum lines... One goes to the FPR, the other goes to the intake boot. But what is the purpose of the one that goes to the intake boot, is that really needed for a turbo system?



                                Need a new flange... JOE FUNK!
