What kind of car? just start out at 7lbs then go from there. And there are also cheaper sources of fuel managment than hondata s200 that are just as reliable.

and if you going with 450cc injectors just get DSM 440's, helluva lot cheaper and work the same (but your goin to need a resistor box which isnt a big deal)

I'll state it again, think in terms of HP and not Psi. Your goal should always be HP!

What year car, motor, turbo? A little turbo and a big turbo on the same psi will make different amounts of power....

you probably should do some researching before you give someone else your money, might end up paying alot more than you have too...

People need to learn to figure things out for themselves, do research and stop looking to the internet for answers.

There are so many things that need to be straightened out here.

Just c/p this and answer them to the best of your knowledge:

1. stock or built motor
2. what motor
3. What turbo, more specific than T3 or T4, there are so many within those categories

After that we can get you some constructive answers.
