Tuning advice/upgrade advice

[DearDoger]

I have a newly rebuilt motor w/mitsu 4layer head gasket and arp studs a 16g,boost control, and boost gauge. im gettin a fuel pump and 550 injectors this weekend. My long term goal is 22lbs but for now id like to get about 15-16 out of it. So my question is what should i do for tuning right now that will also work towards my overall goal? And will the stock sidemount ic be efficiant with 15lbs.

With 550cc injectors you can get away with an apexi safc for a basic tune. I would suggest since you want to run 22 lbs in the future to upgrade to larger injectors now and get dsmlink and save to hassle of possibly having to upgrade to larger injectors down the road. As far as the stock side mount intercooler, at 15 lbs of boost it should be fine, just make sure you give it a good cleaning. But since your looking for 22 lbs in the future, a front mount might be something you might want to look into doing now. It all depends on what you can spend for money right now.

the stock ic will be fine but bigger injectors and s-afc will be good. i ran 22psi 780cc injectors s-afc and walbro 255 and maftranslator even with those injectors on thaT AFC IT WORKED GOOD
