Default When going turbo?? Whats needed for fuel management?? Ecu,resistor box,injectors??

I have a chipped OBD1 P28 Ecu can this be used for turbo applications?? Also I'm looking into some DSM 450cc injectors out of an Eclipse but what else is needed to run these (resistor box)?? Anything else?? I have an AEM universal FPR can this be used?? What else if anything fuel wise will I need?? Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to piece everything together myself.
I have searched but I really can't find a "Things you'll need list" and everyones opinion on what to use for fuel management varies.I'm not a master mechanic but I can hold my own under the hood.I will be running a low mileage minime swap D15B2 bottom with D16Z6 head?? Thanks guys most appreciative!!!

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Mr.speaker &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">with those dsm 450's you can use the stock mpfi resistor box..you can use the p28 no problem,,look into uberdata or crome for management,,both are freeware...and your tuner should have all the hardware (chips,chip burner,widebando2,laptop,etc)

the list is real small

chipped ecu
fuel injectors
tuning

So do I "have" to re-map my Ecu to run turbo or can I run it like it is???

Are you sure?
You can run 450's with an Apexi VAFC. You have to lean the a/f ratio by 40% is what I have read here before. The problem with it is that is throws timing off, because of the askew sensor readings. Not the best fuel management out there.

thanks Jorge. because i was told i could scale them down using the safc II. no matter though, i have a socketed ECU too. which i was going to use for the tune, and the safc for control while on the fly. or incase of small modifications here and there.
