i thought you need to adjust the injector duty cycle with the emanage? the vafc is very simple, just add/subtract fuel at a certain rpm.

Rep Power: 811 dezod you are the man!
if you run low boost and tune the car right, there should be no worry about headgasket failing. I need to swap my head to a stock one sometime before turbo, so i'll make an easy diy in case anyone needs to. i have an auto too. you definately need a tranny cooler. And i would definately run ONLY copper plugs with a turbo (and one step colder plug than stock). other than that i would say step up maintenance. its easy to change tranny fluid every 10k and oil every 3k. just goto the store and buy a hydraulic jack $20 and two jackstands $20 I do mine in the parking lot its so easy. loosen a bolt and drain the fluid. use common sense. if you beat the car all day long, stuff will break because the car wasn't designed to go fast all the time.

its worth it. i mean car pool to work for a week then get your car back with a turbo at an insane price and now the turbo was made for YOUR car. or save for what feels like forever and end up blowing your turbo fund on a new front end when you wreck a week from finally getting it paid in full.
