Tunning & Intercooler questions

[an orange crayon]

Im running an MHI Tdo5h 20g,560cc,full exhaust,255 walbro, WB,2g maf, on a 1990 tsi, so my question is can i keep my boost low and be ok untill i can buy an ecmlink? i hear that the 2g maf with evo 8 injectors runs fine but would like a second opinion.
I also have been looking at intercoolers air to air and water cooled, does anyone know about the water cooled intercooler? i like the look of a FMIC but if the water cooled one is more efficiant then ill go that rout. thanks.

well what does your WB read at idle and during boost? if you keep the boost low and watch your afr's you would be alright. but if your running too rich or lean just wait to get link.

Sorry big thing i forgot to say, the car is not running yet engine is being built now, and the car is in some what a whole in my garage.

If the car was running I would have said go with the 450cc injectors until you get ecmlink.

Ecmlink, vrsf fmic, 1000cc injectors. Your set for that setup. No need fancy air/water kit's unless it was a drag car or something.

You have a LOT going on to run your car without a tune. your injectors are bigger than stock along with your walbro, both out performing stock fuel maps that your ecu will process. I personally would not try to even run the car once its all together without a way to tune it, with preferably ecmlink, but a MAF-T can tune a little bit of the way. You would see through your WB, but you will be running pretty rich I would think
