I realize some one out there is going to tell me to use the search button, but like a few others on here I'm deployed and get limited time online. So aways

-What size are the stock injectors on a MP5 and on a MSP?

-I've heard alot of talk, but will the stock injectors from a WRX fit on the A MP5, STI or base model?

Secondly, I want yalls opinion. I have the list of stuff I'm planning on getting.

-HIboost budget turbo kit, same as normal kit, minus BOV and EMS
-Megan racing BOV
-MSP ECU
-ACT Stage one clutch
-Megan Racing 2.5' Catback exhaust
-440 injectors
-Pauter Rods
-Arias 8.5:1 pistons
Goal is to run high 13's and around 280 WHP.


Also, need recommendations on a good but cheap electronic boost controller.
Planning on having all work done through Idaho Speed Center while I'm gone.
No thin skin let me know what yall think.
 
-What size are the stock injectors on a MP5 and on a MSP? Both cars have the same injectors (2 green, 2 purple). The 2 in cylinders 1/2 flow a little more than 3/4, that's why they're a different color. It's to prevent them from going lean. I'm not 100% sure on the flow rates. I'll see if I can get an exact answer.

-I've heard alot of talk, but will the stock injectors from a WRX fit on the A MP5, STI or base model? It's the green 440cc injectors

The MSP ECU gives you 0 tunability. It's known to run really rich, and won't be able to optimize your upgraded injectors. You'll also have CEL because IIRC, the HiBoost kit deletes the EGR. I'm not sure your reasoning for going with the MSP ECU, but it be worth the money to invest in a stand alone.

Another thing I'd recommend is a LSD. All that power to one wheel probably won't be that fun.
 
Ok, well the normal HIboost kit comes with the F10X which is around 850$. The option to go with MSP ecu was to keep things on a budget. But thanks for the advice, I'll forget the MSP ecu.
Next question then, with the F10X completly replace the ECU or does it work in conjunction with the ECU. Or is there a decent EMS out there thats alittle less expensive.

Sorry about all the question, this will be my first turbo built car and my first car that will have this much modifacation to the engine.

Thanks
 
the F10X will completely replace the ECU. That also means it will eliminate the OBD-II function; if you have to do emissions, this will be an issue.

There are some people that are starting to use Megasquirt (www.megasquirt.info). It's about half the price of the Haltech.
