FMU and SR 370cc injectors not a good combo maybe stock injectors. You'll run hella rich. But it is true that a basic turbo kit under 8psi of boost should be ok as long as you dont drive like an Assss all the time. A really basic KA-T setup for me is....
Really Basic Setup - est 170 ~ 190 whp.
- KA24 Bottom mount Turbo Manifold
- SR T25 Turbo including all piping and snorkel tube. Running stock boost
- T25 Oil Line kit. "water line optional but good to have". Oil pan needs to be tapped. for return
- SR SMIC /w BOV
- SR turbo Elbow
- SR Downpipe
- 255lph pump
- 10:1 FMU or adjustable would be better.
- 2 step colder Spark plugs
- retard timing to about 4 degrees.
** Running on stock maf and injectors **
Pros: Basic setup and can be accomplished possibly under $500.
Cons: Tuning is the main issue and FMU is just a way to give more fuel rail pressure once your on boost.
Really Basic Setup Stage 2 - est 190 ~ 220 whp. ( Upgrades )
- SR Injectors 370cc
- SAFC
- MAF Upgrade "still optional but since you have SAFC it would be good"
* no FMU here *
Pros: No you have some way to manage fuel but timing is the issue.
Cons: Tuning is still an issue but do not strain your fuel delivery and less risk than FMU.
Really Basic Setup Stage 3 - est 220+ whp. ( More Upgrades )
- Rom Tune ( JWT or RS Enthalpy
- and Use the SAFC now for fine tuning.
Or just do all of the stages at onces and it should still be under $1500.
At this point you will realize how tiny a T25 turbo will be to your KA-T. T28 is actually good size but still small IMO. This is basic for me I can list my setup but I'm tired of typing now. GL!!
