Thanks for the advice! Going with the higher injectors does sound like a good plan. Can't hurt. Power FC also looks like a very nice unit. Will it replace both the fuel controller and the ignition controller, or just fuel? If it's just fuel, that still leaves me with the Mine's ECU in the ignition controller which has lord knows what timing map.

But honestly, it doesn't scare me too much having that Mine's ECU in there. I've done my research on that company and I like them, furthermore they seem like a rather conservative tuning shop so I doubt the setting is aggressive enough to start causing knock at the boost levels I plan to run. From driving it, just as a butt feel, I suspect they advanced the timing in the lower RPM but not much if at all in the upper RPM. The way the power rolls on reminds me of my last turbo'd car, a Saab 9000T which also had DI and a similarly advanced timing at low rpm/boost.

Also... how do I tune an adjustable FPR? I'll mount a permanent inline gauge, always liked that idea. Should I just see what the current pressure is at idle and match that with the new FPR, and let a tuning shop take it from there?
