You will need to port your wastegate, and for 10psi, you'll need a source of fuel control. SAFC2?


You might think about putting in a Walbro 255lph fuel pump, also.

At the very least a FD fuel pump. I would also look into getting yourself an RTEK if you don't go the SAFC route.

you wont need to turn up the boost with a controller to hit ten pounds, you'll hit up to 16 whether you like it or not. (if your engine blows, you wont like it). porting the wastegate will lower how much boost it runs, which you can then turn up with a boost controller. and yes, you absolutely need something to tune those injectors with.

With experience with RTek's (while short-lived), and with helping play with Tofuball's Megasquirt, I see no reason for anyone to EVER buy an RTek, unless they just plain like to tune with Palm Pilots.


Megasquirt can do SO much more, unlimited adjustability, no calculating what injector setting you need to use because you are running different-then-the-RTek-guys-want-you-to-run, etc. Not to mention, you can run AUX ports with it (electronically with a electronic pump), VDI, E-fan(s), igniton, fuel, nitrous, a make-shift boost controller, and practically any other electronic system you have in your car.

its an internal wastegate, its part of the turbo. you have to have it ported, its not something you can attach. to put it in perspective, its like asking if someone has some streetported intake ports you can buy. an aftermarket wastegate cant be used, because they are all external and your wastegate is internal. hope that helps!
