I strongly suggest that you look into tuning the ECU before you go and buy a bunch of parts.
The reason there's so many people who poo-poo the idea is because there's easily 10 people every year who say they are going to turbo the car. They all claim to have done it to every other car they own, or have owned. They get into a huge pissing match with the people who claim that it's not worthwhile or can't be done, and then they are never heard from again.
It's not a matter of negativity, it's a matter of "the boy who cried wolf".
I'm not against what you're trying to do.......just warning you beforehand. Personally, I'd love to see someone do it!
I hear you on that 10 people a month ordeal as I have been reading threads everyday for a couple of months on here. I think the problem has been that most are relying on a shop that has no experience in actually changing NA cars over to FI.
Like I said in a former post, I'm not going to claim anything until I have solid information(working car). I think a lot of people have not really had the persistence it takes or personal knowledge to follow all the way through with a project of this magnitude. These days its getting harder and harder to rely on others as well. Some of the people have probably gotten hit with the "were gonna need more money" phrase from their mechanic.
