hi,
i am considering installing a vf22 turbo & a larger tmic along with my new downpipe & uppipe. i also have the utec ecu. i cannot afford the fuel injectors & pump yet, and since i will have everything out to install my pipes i want to just put in the turbo, and run it at 18psi or so until i get the fuel mods in. does anyone see this causing a problem? will the stock fuel system handle this setup (for a couple months at least). Thanks for your help.

regardless of what other people might have told you this is a recipe for disaster I recently had to fix a guy at works car that ran a similar setup, VF22, Up pipe, Downpipe, MRT TMIC, and utec. Frankly the stock injectors cannot handle it, that turbo is pretty big. I know that Gruppe-s.com usually has good prices on a fuel pump, injector, turbo deals you might want to consider that. Also why do yo uwant the VF-22 I know thatit is a big turbo but the design is a bit weak and it has been known to fail. You may wat to look at a VF34 or VF30 instead. Either way you will want to do injectors. Good luck with your project.

 

Thanks for the info. I wanted the vf22 cause it will give more hp in the topend (so i hear), and i think i am willing to sacrifice turbo lag for it. but gruppe-s is out of stock on the injectors & vf22, so i think i will just buy an intercooler now and keep everything cool and happy, then get the turbo & fuel stuff when i get more money.
