Default turbo/tuning question...

my question is if i was to do a mild turbo setup on my ls swapped ek. no bigger injectors or different map sensor all stock basically. i was think 7 to 8 psi just for a little extra power for now haha. but my main question is i know tuning is key to a good setup bu if im only running this mild setup would i be ok just running a basemap like a pheareable chipped ecu converted to obdI? any help or input is appreciatted.

You still want to get it tuned... and the stock injectors aren't going to cut it.

If you are going to spend money on injectors you might as well get something bigger in case you ever want to go further later on.

I make NepTune so my opinion is slightly skewed. See what your tuner recommends or check out the software for yourself and see what's comfortable. The NepTune RTP software and s300 software is free to download.

This depends, there is a Neptune RTP & a Neptune chip based system.
If you have a local tuner that is an authorized Neptune tuner, you can use a regular socketed ecu to have the car tuned on Neptune using a 28 pin eprom chip/socketed ecu. Otherwise, you will need a Neptune RTP/Demon ecu setup.

If you want to be able to make changes yourself, you'd get the NepTune RTP.

If not, you can go to an authorized dealer and have him tune your ECU (Chipped of course) with NepTune for a small license fee + whatever he charges for tuning.

I've heard that getting injectors that are too capable or not capable enough can both be bad...Forgot exactly how but research it and you'll see. I saw somebody say get bigger injectors so I thought I'd mention this to you. You want to get injectors that suit your current set up and goal

This is not always true. You could run a quality 1000cc injector by injector dynamics on a car that makes 120 whp. If it is properly tuned the vehicle should perform just like if it had stock injectors (240cc) or better...
