Turbo problems...kinda....

ok guys here is what i've got.....I bought the TSI extreme kit and i upgraded to the t28bb turbo and i also oppted for the fuel management upgrade which was supposed to come w/ 440cc injectors....well first of all the kit was a bitch and a half to install.....the charge pipes dont quite fit right and my first questoin is to someone who has this kit installed...Where did you mount teh intercooler to??......ok back to the big picture... i was wondering where i can find injectors big enough to run aroun 6-8 lbs of boost....the only thing i have found so far is that Venom will rebuild my stock ones if i send them out to them....however i dont know if i want to do that.......my next big question is, Is SF reputable again...in the sense that if i wanted to order a SF fuel system would that be wise...and if i cant do that what are my other Fuel options....thanks for the help in advance....and advice on any of my problems will work...thanks

fair enough, however there arnt any TSI extreme threads on here so the mounting question wont get answered.........and then i read the RSX injector post........but i'm not 100% that those injectors will be enough for my applicatoin.............so there are questions that i'd like to get answered that cant be by searching......

your factory injectors are fine to run that amount off boost...there are a numerous amount of people doing that including me

Civic02playa: I have the extreme kit and I mounted the intercooler to the bumper using the SF DIY as a guide. Took some doing of course, I recommend titanium drill bits to make the mounting holes. I found some sheet metal screws(they might just be "metal" screws, as opposed to "wood" screws), the appropriate sized drill bit, drilled the holes, and screwed them in. Supposedly the screws are designed for metal, and the charge pipes hold the intercooler up anyway, so there is really no cause for worry as far as the intercooler coming off.

Did you get the TB spacer with the two injectors and ICU?

No i didnt get the TB spacer and the two injectors or the ICU cuase i opted for the fuel management upgrade and they neglected to ship the other fuel components after they said that they couldnt find the 440cc injectors they advertised....so i have none of the fuel system basically and i'm left to compile one on my own............but regardless i'm looking for ways to do this for my application......
