    depends on boost man....


    Turbo is independent what figures u wanna run....

    If u say put 10psi hyperthetically use the Turbo ecu and injectors. if u wanna go over say 15(where turbo Ecu and Inj Max out will cause a lean out) u would go aftermarket ecu ,injectors and Afm etc etc.

    mt turbo injectors were maxed out at 182rwkw on 7psi of boost from a gt35 with a baby cam, upper rpm is was rather lean around 14.5 afr's

    if your computer and injectors are standard, run as little boost as you can.

    cheers
