i'm in the process of building one myself...using mf2 (2 440's) and that should be enough for 6~8psi.

I'm building one my self as well. Just bought the turbo today, not totally stock though: I'm doing the MPFI swap before hand. I will run about 6-8 psi of boost, more then likely 7. I will not be using the all mighty $1k fuel management systems for I do not know how to tune with them.

why would i need to swap to mpfi? I have no problem with the 2 injectors cuz like I said...I'm going to utilize mf2 (2 extra 440's) which is well enough to suppose up to 7psi.

Do it, ignore them. You will still make about 20% less power than w/ MPFI at the same boost but it will work.

It can be done www.homemadeturbo.com but if you are going to fork over a $1k for a turbo set up, you should just as well run a mpfi swap. It will make you alot more powerful, and at the same time you will more then likely be a lot safer from blowing anything then the dpfi.

Plus you will not be running a nice $1k engine management system, with that you are just about safe from any type of damage if you know how to tune it. That is probably why it works for them. I do not know of any other DPFI turbos, if that tells you anything.

i'm not using any standalone..the only thing i'll be using is MF2 to control the extra 2 440's..it's been doing on many volkswagons and rx7's..i don't see reason why it won't work on this project

I had a dual port originally. What a poor excuse for fuel delivery.
