VF34: What 1/4 times to expect? What eng.mgt. to use?
I currently have (power mods):
turbo-back exhaust
CAI
ebc set to 16.5 psi peak
a month or so ago I ran a 13.5 @ 100 mph.
I have a VF34 coming and was wondering what kind of times can I expect from this turbo swap upgrade.
(yes I plan to upgrade to STi injectors, and consider upgraded intercooler)
Can I run the VF34 first (without the STi injectors?)?
What would be the safe max boost? stock 13.5 psi?
Also, I don't have any engine management yet (no utec, cobb, ecutek, Vishnu, etc.)
But I was considering going the route of Apex'i S-AFC instead.
I was thinking I could still use the S-AFC to dyno tune and tailor fuel and timing for max. safe power levels custom to my car.
Would this be a good choice?
Well, the 2 leading choices for me are:
1) Apex'i S-AFC
2) Cobb Tuning reflash
Which would you guys recommend?
Thanks for any input!!

Rather than the turbo, spend the money on stand alone management and tuning by a good shop. You'll get as much power and more reliability than with the VF34 and AFC. But better yet, do both!
