I just brought my car to the shop near my neighbor hood and they are installing my turbo for me. I swear the owner keep on saying my motor is going blow few timeS! "your motor is going blow" your motor is going blow". I like yeah there hella people running turbo on stock motor but they are not running high boost. dude crazy *** owner . Yeah i'm running on sf turbo kit with the sf fuel system.. i have 2 injectors in charge pipe, control by erl mf2. How long did you guy been running turbo on your car and any problem with it?

jwcardy is on a distinguished road
when i had my sf kit i was running 8lbs with their fuel setup...why are you using their fuel setup and the 2 extra injectors...sf setup is fine for now....

if you are careful and take care of your car, then you will be okay

Well which is it? The SF fuel system or the mf2? You shouldn't run both....

loo..i take it a little futher now
only thing is if you take it too far the ecu see boost or you run too lean and puts your car in limp mode. some time it just shuts it off. Then you stop and restart it. As long as you dont go full throttle you should be O.K. that's what mine has been doing. A coupple ocassions i pushed it too much instead of letting it ease into boost and it pulls it self from then on

SAFC w/ RSx injectors

I did it the first on the way to the mid atlantic meet and i didn't know what the **** happened. Put 2 and 2 together and makes sense to me. ( my personal expericence)
