bro... seriously stop.... microtech, find it anywhere on the forum for avrg. $500 used lt8 and a STABLE fuel system, not just a 255 and injectors will cut it, you'll need proper plumbing and a fpr as well. dont bug the ecu unless you in FACT know how to run electronics (or at all). iv worked on many **** ups and had to trouble shoot idiots cars who "know" how things work... just a tip and fair warning bro. research your *** off there is many other options at lower costs and maybe safer to mod a rotary for more boost.
another thing iv delt with rtek and seriously its trash. your better off with a safc, walbro, fpr, upgraded plumbing and 850 cc 2nd's injectors, its more flexible when you start to add on to your set up.
take it as you wish, iv seen, built, researched and delt with many set ups. ALL JUST A PERSONAL OPINION.

You still didn't say how you plan to controll more fuel. The 1.x series of Rtek just keep the stock levels with the different size injectors. You will still need to us a SAFC or simmiler to tune or you will still run rich.
If you have an SAFC already, great. If not i strongly suggest looking into the Rtek 2.x series (unless it;s an S5 in which case you are boned) or as stated above some other controler.
15psi+no way to control fuel =BANG! Rebuild

Rtek 1.7 does NOT change the fuel map
you will STILL run lean even with the 1.7, if you dont have an actual way of changing the fuel map
either get the rtek 2.x
or a fuel pump, fcd, and a f-con or equiv
if you are sticking with the stock turbo - the easiest way is just get a f-con and a fcd.
You have a pretuned safe map, an amount of adjustability to the map, a gcc can be had for 100 more and you wil have full tunability, not to mention f-con with fcd are only around 150. it will be much safer than the rtek - as rtek 1.x have no control over the fuel map.
And dont bother with safc or any of that crap. unless you have a wideband and hours of tuning it, or have access to a dyno, it is completely useless with a fancy display.

I am running the R-Tek 1.7, and they do change the fuel and timing. I am very happy with the R-tek. At full boost, wide open throttle, my air/fuel stays in the low 12s. You can't go over 14.7 psi on the stock map sensor though. To reach 400 plus, you'll never reach that with the stock turbo. I am running a T04E at 14 psi with the R-Tek, and I am barely over 300 rwhp. You need to do a little more research on what it actually takes to reach that kind of hp. You will never do it on the stock apex seals either.

I'm running 720s. Since I have been running the R-Tek, the car boost so much better and harder now. Runs smoother, and transistions the secondarys in better. The only negetive thing that I have noticed with the R-Tek, is the car is harder to start when cold.
