Just get the 2.1. That way you can tune it.

+1 for getting the 2.1 If you're gonna get Rtek, get one that you can grow into.

A 1.5 or 1.7 would be great with your current setup. Keep in mind you will need 720cc secondary injectors with a 1.7. If you do end up getting the hybrid turbo or porting your engine then then the 2.1 is the way to go. It can grow with your needs. Check the digital tuning website for the features on all upgrades available.

The 1.5 and 1.7 don't change the amount of fuel. They just compensate for bigger injectors down to the stock map and give you 5% more d/c on the top end. You really should save up and get the 2.1. It gives you alot more features that you'll appreciate when it comes time to tune the car.

the stock injectors would be really hard pressed with that much hp.

I had a very similer setup on mine running @10psi with 4x720s. Never ran lean.
HOWEVER

IF you get any of the 1 series Rteks 1.5,1.7,1.8 you are still going to need to adjust your fuel!!!!!!!!

as stated above, the Rtek 1 series doesn't add any fuel! It just puts in the same fuel with different injectors. THAT PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!

Sorry, about that.
If you get the 1 series you will still need to control it with something like a SAFC. or the like. If you can get one cheap, then this will work fine. But for the money, you would still be better of with the 2.1

anything over 10psi i would say port your waistgate and mod the gate door, if your running a S4 exhaust manifold port the openings where it meets the motor. i sent you a pm with a setup i was useing up to 14psi if you get it ill throw in the manifold with a mods stated.

what were your AFRs with your 1.7? Hell people run the RB turboback all the time with the stock ecu and a Fuel cut defender. My RB did 10psi before I went to a bnr. But that was with 720x4
