If you are looking for a set of VL turbo injectors, then I assume you are going to use the factory computer to run these injectors. You could use other sorts of injectors, but that would require programmable engine management. The only sort of injectors that will run properly on the factory VLT computer are the original turbo injectors.

The magna injectors are big because there's 4 of them supplying a 2.6 litre engine. I would assume that to turbocharge a magna would be no different to turbocharging any other car, the factory injectors are too small for massive power. Yes the magna has big injectors, but they are expected to supply a relatively large 4 cylinder engine. If you wanted to turbo a 2.6 litre magna I think you would have to upgrade to even bigger injectors than the factory ones.
