Second guessing my support setup - Opinions appreciated

I'm moving up from the stock turbo to the BNR stage 2 and am beginning to rethink what I have as far as support. I'm looking for a modest amount of power something along the lines of 300hp sounds totally fine with me for now.

As of right now, I have a 3" racingbeat exhuaust bolted up running an FCD and AFC to controll it. Does it sound wise to keep going with this with a Hybrid or would it be wise to ditch this and go with an Rtek? Should I stick with a 4x720 injector setup or go with a combination of 2x720 and 2x1000's? I'm not entirely too comfortable with my tuning abilities right now, so input is much appreciated at this point.

Yeah. I have an AEM Uego. I've heard both positives and negatives about it, but I can't complain cause it was a gift. Parts are always welcome in my book.

hah any time i even said so myself it doesnt answer your main question, but still a great page non-theless.

well to my knowlege if you have bigger plans to your car, not even, if you just want to tune your car to make sure its at its best, i would suggest an rtek and a wideband just so you can tune your car and acheive exactly what you want .

Get the Rtek 2.1 so you can have actual timing control. also it will let you adjust cranking fuel to prevent flooding. I think 4x720 will do it just barely

Should I move up to 2x720 and 2x1000's just to be safe? I feel as if staying 4x720 is pushing it a little.

you will HAVE to upgrade your injectors in order to reach 300whp, without going standalone Rtek is the best way to do that. you can probably make the 300whp on 720x4.

i run 720x2 and 880x2 making 273whp, i have tons of room to go on fuel.

I just got off the phone with Brian@BNR turbo and talked about my setup. He believes that 4x720's will be enough to hold the turbo down for a decent 300hp but recommended that I bump up my fuel pressure regulator.

Any suggestions?
