Stock plate full forward, probably adds about 50 hp.. You also need some wastegate control to get the boost over stock, keeping the EGT's in line. Smoking like a freight train requires injectors IMHO...

yes if you have a aftermarket fuel plate and stock injectors you will leak. i have a fuel leak coming from all my injectors from the amount of fuel through the stock injectors

Ok got the gauges in tonight!

What pressure does the stock wastegate open at for a 215hp motor?

In 4th gear i got up to about 25psi and it looked like it was still going but i ran out of gear and road!

EGTs were 1000, still got some room to play with!


What kind of injectors should a guy get?

Im not looking for a million HP, it still needs to be drivable!

You could look at some new era 435's they are a fairly big injector and yet still streetable and they will smoke. Or you could tep up and get some ddp's they are more pricey but an awesome injector.

Is your probe for your pyro before or after the turbo, if it's after 1000 would be pushing it a little bit
