factory s5 n/a ecu capabilities
i'm going with an n/a streetport when rebuilding my engine. i can't seem to find anything helpful to its maximum capacities. is their a maximum (ideal) horsepower that the stock ecu can handle? maybe a good estimated number someone has come up with?
similarly, what power can the fuel injectors (ideally) support themselves?
is their a weaker link between the two (amount of fuel vs how much air the ecu can properly read) ?
as you can tell, i dont know how to properly ask the question as it is a mouthful. any help including numbers already met is of course appreciated.
thanks,
casio
::wanted to add that i will hopefully at least have an safc, so that can be counted in the equation. *still searching for info on fuel capabilities,* but hopefully this should be less of a problem than how much air intake the ecu can read since i could control bigger injectors with the piggyback.

The NA already runs rich, do getting some kinda fuel controller (i.e. S-AFC) will help lean it out for more power.
Turbo FC's run 4 x 550's, and max out at around 250bhp safely.
If we extrapolate down to 4 x 460, I get -16% or about 210bhp (flywheel).

i'd wanted to lean the car out before, but never had the s-afc (or anything of the like). so slightly bigger injectors may be necessary if power goals were to be met. i believe the safc would be sufficient to control the upgraded injectors, so that leaves me with the original problem of air intake. am i worrying about something that shouldn't be a real problem?
