OK, I am tired of hearing 1000000000 different ways to tune my car and all the shit I need to do it. All fuel and turbo are stock right now however I am about to purchase a Mitsu t3/t04e 50 trim turbo.

first off I want to know the absolute essentials needed to allow my car to run good?

Is it true the w/rewire the factory fuel pump can handle the amount of fuel needed to run this turbo? I have heard that from people on here.

Is it cheaper or even possable for me just to install the turbo, turn the boost way down and run the car to a tuning shop for them to tune?
After I install injectors, FPR, and whatever else I need?

This is driving me up the wall?

LiNk or SAfC BLAH BLAH!!!! :cry:

in reality do i need either if I take it too a shop with wideband on the dyno, or do @ least need the SAFC so they adjust the fuel trims?

Stay with the stock turbo untill you get the supporting mods,otherwise the car will be slower.For a 50 trim you will need 660 or bigger injectors to get the full potential of the turbo.

If you go 50 trim then you need Fuel pump,Bigger inj,AFPR,SAFC and logger or DSMlink or some sort of tuning device...

Install a 255 or ND Supra pump and get a AFPR.The stock pump won't support a 50 trim very well..

Is it cheaper or even possable for me just to install the turbo, turn the boost way down and run the car to a tuning shop for them to tune?
Yes as long as you have the correct supporting mods.Without some sort of fuel controller "SAFC,DSMLINK,VPC,ect" their isn't much they can do to tune it.

After I install injectors, FPR, and whatever else I need?

Both work well,DSMlink offers more tunability.but alot of guys have made very good power with a simple SAFC setup..

Read above replies..

Good luck..
