Turbo, injectors and live tuning. That works.

It would help to read his signature before you post.




Get some injectors.. skip all the supporting mods, you dont really need them unless you're going for all out power, IE fuel system, transmission, HPOP etc. You wont make any power than you are right now without more fuel, it's easy.

would new injectors require live tuning? would a upgraded HPOP help with this? would that need live tuning, do think it is easy for me to get live tune?

No, you wouldn't need live tuning with new injectors. You will however need to have your chip reburned for single shot injectors.
