get some fuel management... running your car on stock fuel injectors and pump on a stock ecu is a stupid thing to do.... its gonna blow up eventually (if it hasnt already)

If you have you have upgraded injectors, you really need to work out the fuel management as some of these guys are saying. 255lph fuel pump, aem adjustable fuel pressure regulator ( get something adjustable and ditch the B&M, mine sucked ), and you need something to balance it out ( ecu ). If you don't want to spend crazy money, just get a piggyback system like the SAFC, which I don't really recommend, but it's better than what you're running right now.

i got a vafc a chipped spoon ecu im searching for engine management right now

so aem fuel pressure regulator is alright???? cuz people have told me locally to get a turbo rated fuel regulator

and another problem that i am having is smoking i have a thread on it but i added a catch tank it didnt do a thing

it is smoking VERY WHITE SMOKE no oil in piping or throttlebody or intercooler before or fater, no oil in headers or ports on head, but i took off downpipe and their was oil in it so does that mean it is exhaust seals that are bad on turbo?? could that be a contribution to the problem?

please guys it would be grateful on to what ems you guys recommend, injecotrs size (450 what i have but no in motor yet), getting the walbro fuel pump, and i guess ditch the b&m??

Well, the AEM adjustable fuel pressure regulator is rated to go as high as your fuel pump can pump. As far as the white smoke, are there bubbles in your radiator or does your engine oil look kind of milky? If so, it could be a blown headgasket. All turbos are known to burn some oil, as far as the oil in the downpipe, someone else is gonna have to contribute to it. If you have the money to play, get the AEM Standalone EMS. It's VERY expensive though but well worth the money IMO. I answered everything the best that I can and I hope that I helped you somewhat. If there is something wrong, please enlighten me.
