Howdy,
My 1992 AWD 1G DSM has:
Small 16G turbo
EVO 3 manifold
3 inch turbo back exhaust
Walbro fuel pump
PCV catch can
K&N stock replacement filter
VDO boost gauge
unmolested non-eprom ECU
CFDF clutch
aluminum flywheel

All of the "free" tricks have been done to the intercooler and intake.

On the shelf, I have an ETG and some 550cc injectors.
To make use of these last two things, I know I'll need the AFC, but will I positively need a modified ECU?

Also, with all of this, how much crank horse power can I expect to get with the stock intercooler on 93 octane fuel.

Things to keep in mind: I don't want to break lots of drivetrain parts, so my horsepower limit is 330hp. Also, I'm a marginal tuner :p
 
No, you don't *need* an upgraded ECU (chip) will it make the car run more smooth and not require such drastic changes by the AFC?... yes. For the time being, run the AFC, you will be fine.

You can hit 300 FWHP no problem.

You will break parts through hard launches and power shifting long before you will because of the HP level.
