Hey, cheers heaps for the info

uhk cheers, so the stock injector wouldn't be able to handle even slight boost? Does the afm have any adjustment, i.e. so i could lean the car out then increase fuel pressure? Only want to deal with low boost, after the cheapest and easiest way. I can setup the extra injector, its just not my preferred method of adding fueling.

Yeah no worries, that the way i usually do it, just checking if there was a hidden bung i could use,

I would keep boost around 5-7 lbs since the stock MAF sensor can probably only handle that much before crapping out.

Yeah i had a 3L on 3PSI (6PSI actuator, but mega pressure drop by the time it hit the plenum, do to small cooler, afm, other misc restrictions) I didnt realise as i didnt have a boost guage, it still went fantastic though, great on petrol aswell, (until i tripled the boost :P)

You might try and get a hold of a complete E15ET intake manifold and ECU. Check EXAclub.com, they have all kinds of goodies for sale. As for a turbo manifold, you could probably chop the factory flange off the stock manifold and weld on the appropriate flange, or make your own; whatever is easier.

none if i can get away with it, just want to spend on basic supporting mods, its a cheap engine in a cheap car, aftermarket management just wouldn't be worth it. As for the e15 running gear, it is an option, but how many bits would i end up needing? intake, injectors, afm?, loom? is everything else compatible?

uhk, well im not going aftermarket management, but as for turbo, im after somthing that will make the boost i want relitively easy, i'd rather a turbo that doesnt have to work hard to feed the engine, so i get nice cold boost and less restriction in the exhaust, so if i can get reasonable spool on a bit turbo, i'd rather use that and run less boost, than a smaller turbo on more for the same power output.
that said, i'll end up with whatever i can end up with as cheap as possible, so somewhere between a t2 and t25, somthing designed for a ~ 1.8L would be about ideal for the 1.6, because of its CR etc.
thanks again
