christ i think im screwed AGAIN!
ok...here goes nothing...
ive been doing some research and what not and this is what ive come up with so far
my engine is almost built and about to be back in my car.
heres whats gonna be on it when it goes in...
s5 turbo
NO EMISSIONS
maybe s5 upper and lower intake
(depending if i can get it to meet up right)
FCD
TID from 2+aRON (sp)
air filter adapter from ebay
FULL RB turboback exhaust
i know that im going to need to port my wastegate to help boost creep, but am i screwed?
can stock fuel support this setup?
my main concern was avoiding hardcore fuel upgrades, due to lack of fundage....
i was assuming that i could just get a MBC and set my boost to not go above 9 PSI....
upon reading some stuff today i realized that the MBC couldnt help that at all, and now im gonna be boosting like a madman, which scares the hell out of me and also pisses me off...i dont have the money to upgrade fuel, and now with all the mods ive done/doing im apparently going to have to upgrade fuel or kill my engine....i had to cut my existing exhaust off around where the presilencer would be since it was stuck to piece that is to be replaced with the dp i just got from RB
so im gonna have a RB full turbo back exhaust and a TID....theres no hope for me huh?

Rewire fuel pump, port the wastegate like a mad man and you should be running around 10#. With a healthy stock fuel system you SHOULD be safe till 12#.
Watch out for boost creep and spike. Moitor your A/F and you should be allright.

I have the same exhaust, with an intake, and i boost to about 9 psi, so you will need to get an FCD, or just set it so it opens the wastegate a little earlier(maybe at 7 psi or so?). You could just make your own FCD, but its like 90 bucks for an S4 fcd from 7store. you really dont get that much creep with the S5 wastegate.

rewire fuel pump?
how would i do that?
am i better off just getting a walbro?
how would i set the wastegate to open earlier?
i already have a FCD, from racing beat.....it didnt cost much at all
i heard that i shouldnt need bigger injectors for the time being , but that the fuel pump needs to be better?
if i just get the walbro, and make sure the wastegate is nice and ported, i should be fine right?
my car has been down so long the last thing i wanna do is blow it up after having some much needed fun with it

ok so i read i can keep the injectors, and just upgrade the pump....i assume i will be running rich?
how rich will i run, and will i NEED something to control the fuel....i dont want to run too rich, but if its just barely gonna effect performance then im not too worried about it....
will i NEED an safc?

i have a walbro 255, and it doesnt seem to run very rich at all, i cant even shoot flames unless i rev it to like 7+, and the injectors can support something like 280 HP. I got my walbro for $75 shipped, and its very easy to install, although i had to modify the rubber mount to get it to fit right, and the fuel pump rewire is a good idea even with the walbro.

delslow, thanks man i really appreciate it...
but what do you mean by rewire?
does it come up often on the boards...??
wait....whats that magic word.....ummm search
if you dont see rewire pop up a bunch though please respond as to what that is, since if it doesnt pop up often i may not find it in search!
thanks once again MANG!

ok here i come with some info for ya... lol
PUMP REWIRE
http://www.1300cc.com/howto/how2/rewire.htm
i have the same setup you have minus the tid.
i got a walbro $90 on ebay new, and a pair of 680cc secondaries 80 shipped from a member on here..
i would like to get a safc asap but its not running all that bad, its just a bit rich up top but better safe than sorry for now. Im running 7-8 psi without the mbc, but iv got the mbc set to 10-11 now with stock ic. i havent seen any creep (yet).
if its too much boost for you then runa stock tid for a while till you can upgrade your fuel. but id say the walbro at least. $90 man u can do it... cut a few lawns.
