The Rtek 1.7 is setup to run 720cc secondaries. If you have 550's all around, you can use the 1.5 or upgrade your secondaries and get 1.7.

You gave us 2 or 3 important details while leavintg out big things like how much psi you want to run.

Full exhaust will help spool th wturbo quicker BUT with a ported wastegate you shoudl only be running stock boost levels. So no ECU mod would be needed.

Stock injectors can take up to 10psi safely
Rtek 1.5 would be good for this range due to it's features.

You need to upgrade your fuel pump as a safety buffer if you do 10psi.

10 psi is fine considering i dont want to run it at an unsafe level, so yall are saying the 1.5 would be fine for those mods? But i do need a bigger fuel pump, would the walbro 255 be good or can i use a fd fuel pump?

also im planning on getting the jacobs fc1000 ignition box if that changes anything...

Thanx

I would go with the 1.7. The 720cc secondaries will make sure you wont run out of injector. 10 psi is about the safe level on the stock intercooler so you should be okay there. Also if you can run an FD pump with your setup. Its good to around 300 hp (Runs 210 lph) and will not over run your stock FPR like the Walbro 255.

If you want cheap go with Venom injectors. TLF performance parts on Ebay sells two 720's for around 150 bucks If I remember right.
