gsr injectors? as in the lancer gsr? they're only 390cc?

only thing im gonna disagree with is the charge pipe coming off the turbo from that cooler to the rubber piece...looks really restrictive or maybe its just the pic

High pressure hose - supports up to 400psi
With the bumper all on you can even see it, was free/made the job easier/saved $/and does the same job as metal.

Yeah, lancer gsr 390cc,

That pipe isnt too bad, it could have been made better thougth, will make a new better flowing one later on,

Its awesome, I love it, I have a very quiet exhaust - sounds stock almost - so you can imagine that you can hear the turbo spool really loud - lets just say the turbo spool is louder then the exhaust, its really loud ...
the blow off valve is really loud to lol its really funny, the turbo spools as soon as my foot touches the accelerator, full boost kicks in so fast, on about 7psi full boost is at like 4g I think 'will get a firm idea next time I drive it',
I havent experinced the full potential yet as my stock clutch cant handle the power and slips really bad, so I am only running 2.7 psi at the moment and even then its faster then before it was turbo,

mind you I never turboed it for speed or anything ... I just like the sound of turbo spool, blow off valves and the look of a nice polished intercooler, I did it more for style points then anything else
