explain to me the M2 performance WRX...

http://www.m2performance.com/Wrxengpak.htm

so it uses the vf23 and is 310 hp with just the boost controller, no fuel upgrades? Anyone have info on it?

B/c their car seems to be one of the pioneers of wrx tuning and the reason a lot of people got wrx's in the first place, and they don't seem to do any tuning.

But on the forums, people are always saying "don't get an upgraded turbo w/o engine management and bigger injectors"

I think they use the Xede which is made by ChipTorque in Australia, there are a couple of other US based companies using the same piggy back.

Yah, I would think it is to the crank too. I think Aaron used to have the turbo before his motor blew up.

After blowing 2 motors, the owner of the original "M2 supercar" is now running a 2.2 liter motor making less than stock power with a VF30, because he doesn't believe he needs a fuel pump.

Remember kiddies, "More Boost, More Fuel!"

So if more boost means more fuel, then what is the safest maximum boost that the stock fuel system should handle? Just wondering...


EDIT: I think I found it...
