Upgrading: need advice!!

I will start off with a little backgroung on the car. It is an 87 T2 that has stock irons. The only upgrades that it has now is: ported and port matched intake manifolds, an fd fuel pump, tb has been modded, and all emissions have been removed.
I am planning on stepping up to a stage 3 bnr turbo, full rb turbo back exhaust, and a standalone ems.

I neeed to know:
1) What size injectors do I need to run?
2) What ems system is highly recomended?
3) Is there anything else that needs to be adressed?

Thanks

have you perused the Gen II forum yet?

personally, i don't belive in those turbos any more. it's your car and your decision though and i respect that. at any rate, if i were in your place, i'd probably go with:

1. 720cc all around or maybe a 680-720cc/850cc combo

2. Haltech

3. better fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, pull the oil pan and upgrade the oil pressure, EGT gauge, boost gauge, then look at tires, brakes and suspension

no ... i just went that route with my MR2 and ended up realizing it was a joke. the turbo was fine, there were some gains but if you're like me, i think you may feel somewhat cheated when you look around and see what honest-to-goodnees turbo upgrades yield. that's all.

on the other hand, maybe you'll have a much better experience. i'm not trying to poison your mind.
