If You're going with a Nistune and Z32 AFM why not spend the extra couple of dollars and get R32 GTR injectors? You might want to think about a cam too as the stock item holds back a lot of power

i would but currently im under the pump from the folks to get the car done,
the daily ute my old man and i share has cracked the head so ive got a limited time to get i done before the ute completly stops
was more so going with nistune and a z32 just to be completly safe with the engine as its only a highcomp,
still im half minded to go standerd comp with standerd afm
i wont be going anything over 10psi and i have a brand new genuine wastegate actuator on the turbo so it should not allow much spiking if any
what you reckon?
ordered and paid for my gktech cooler kit today

So have You even put a fresh head gasket in? If not, it might not last long.
You will be able to pick up a 2nd hand set of GTR injectors for around $250 and when You'd probably be paying around the $200 mark for VLT injectors it really would be worth while getting the the GTR items straight up, especially if You're worried about leaning out, plus You're only going to want more power in the future..
I bought a GKtech fmic kit for My Berlina and it is a very nice looking kit.
this motor was out of my first vl about 4 years ago, the head was done on it before i got it and the motor was put into this vl
done proberly 30,000ks if that since then
power wise it will happen eventually
but ill be more then happy coming from a vs on gas and turbo diesel ute
it should safe enough on 10psi cooled for a daily
using turbo injectors and turbo comp
