We'll need to know a few more specs like how much boost your running, do you have tuning software to use or is it availible, do you have a means to check your AF ratio or 02's and Injector pulse width and are you keeping stock injectors on the vehicle since they are not ment to support boost. If your running stock injectors and want to be able to tune you will definetly want to get one of our progressive kits. A M3 nozzle should be more than enough to keep you knock free. This is for sure a new set up, never heard of anyone boosting one of those. :cool: |

well do i get a discount since im the first and im from clubgp ![]() id like to stay stock stuff if i can and boost around 12-15psi. i know the internals can take it and from what i have read the injectors can too. i have no scanning or tuning as of now. i was going by what another clubgp member told me to ass a 2bar map sensor to do something im not sure. |

You already have a 2 bar map sensor on a GTP so you don't need to add one. A M5 or M7 nozzle is plenty for up to 15psi of boost. | |

Like I said I'm going to need those details from above, Keeping the stock injectors is going to make the biggest difference since they are not going to provide enough fuel. If you were upgrading injectors then you would be good even with a boost activated system. But the progressive will give you the ablilty to tune your fuel curve using the pump pressure. Your going to need at least that much ability to tune if your not getting the larger injectors and a new ECM. |
