Are you running a intercooler??? Apparently you can get away with it on standard boost, but i wouldnt. Get your self a turbo ecu/injectors or even better one chiped with niztune. Theres so many new vlt owns inland from me lol

Yeh na gear is fine for standard boost with a little bump in fuel pressure if it needs it up top. He asked if he can run turbo injectors with a na ecu. Wont work.

NA ecu with turbo injectors runs rich, 02 sensor probly wont correct at all and u will melt your cat, and spent lots more on petrol turbo ECU with NA injectors will run leaner, more fuel pressure may compensate, but u will need another 30cc odd fuel flow which i doubt ud get from fuel pressure increase i had a spare NA ecu and at one point after reading people saying it works tried it myself, u could see it running rich as blowing black smoke on idle, and it would ping alot easier.

thanks for all your feed back though I've hit a snag. started the car the other day to warm it up, was idling fine then started to miss had a look under the bonnet and now have water in the oil and sounds like water is leaking into the exhaust manifold. BLOODY CARS.

best value for money would be to buy a nistune board for around 400 they totaly remap the ecu so u could use a n/a auto computer on a manual turbo or watever setup u have and it prob wouldnt cost u much more than buying a 3tm computer
