Thanks for reading my thread, hopefully you can help me out. I just got my SlowBoy 50 trim with an internal 38mm Wastegate. My current mods on my car are 3 inch exhaust(turbo back no cat), Intake, Dual Stage MBC, walbro 255, 550 inj, SAFC2, ported 14b, HUGE FMIC, STOCK INTERNALS 137k miles, 150 compression across the board, and few others mods, BPR7ES NGK's, 10.5mm wires etc. Well Im going to run to the local motorsports vendor and purchase a ACT clutch(currently stock atm) and some bigger Injectors- 720's(currently using 550's atm) here in a week or 2. My question is, with my current set-up, will I be able to run the 50 trim at (10-18 PSI safely/efficiantly before I get my clutch/injectors? I know it will be a trial and error type thing. Install the turbo, set to 10 Psi and see if fuel trims lean out/or if the clutch starts to slip upon reaching boost of 10psi+. I know alot of you have slapped on a bigger turbo before throwing on exaclty what you needed to run high boost efficiantly. Im just askin your opinion if I should be ok to put in the turbo and run (10-18 PSI) for a week or 2. As well as with the Clutch and bigger injectors I will be looking into buying a tuning device of some sort other than the SAFC2. Which is the most perfered? What tuning device can I use to make sure when I run 18-22 PSI with the 50 trim, that my engine is getting minimal knock, good A/F ratios, not running lean etc. I appreciate your time and reading this thread!
 
15psi will be the max i would suggest running the turbo with the 550's. As for a tuning device its up to you. How much do you want to spend? You can get yourself a pockelogger which is around $175 and get a palm from ebay. Theres also Dsmlink which is the best tuning management besides the AEM which is $1300. Dsmlink will set you back around $800 give or take if you don't have a 95 eeprom ecu but let me tell you its well worth it. As for the clutch get yourself a 2600 i have it and i love it. Pedal pressure is way overated. Its a tiny bit stiffer than the 2100. Good luck and get that fuel sorted out so you can run 21-24psi on pump :thumb:

Get a wideband, that will tell you what you can run. Also, if you have a datalogger like mentioned use that to check Idc. But your clutch is most likely not going to hold any type of power. Good luck :thumb:
