Just about bought my Turbo-II
I don't want to make the same mistakes the old owner did. The motor is currently toast. The car has a full racing beat exhaust, and cold air intake. It does have an A/F guage and a boost guage. No FCD, no more fuel. What is the reccomended course of action for preventing that I blow the new motor I am going to put in there. I am planning on buying a FCD, is that enough, or do I need bigger injectors also? Thanks for all your advice.

The FCD does not allow the car to get more fuel.
My suggestion would be to rewire the fuel pump, get a walbro fuel pump and 2 720cc injectors. That should hold you over until you can afford to get a Fuel Management System.

get the FCD, pump, and rewire the pump and be sure to watch those gauges so you don't overboost or lean out.

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the advice. I have to of course get the new engine first, but I will get the FCD, the Waldoborough pump, and rewire it before I put it in. Should be good to go for a while.

To be honest it all depends how much your budget is for fuel mods. Some sort of piggy-back fuel computer or EMS is definitely a good idea. Definitely a fcd and walbro pump. The 720s are a good idea as well and you won't have to be worrying if you have enough fuel. Oh and an a/f gauge just uses the stock o2 sensor and isn't very accurate.
