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 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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.
