dam i totaly forgot dezod is out here. i am gonna hit them up to see if they can help. ive searched quite a bit on the ZPI kit but i got a really good deal i couldnt pass up. i just need some tips on how to try and keep my car as smooth as possible after boosting

5 or 6 psi on a stage 0 is smooth. You should do the intercooler and changer the injectors then have dozed tune you on atleast 8psi or 10psi.
#6
in fact i think you should first get at least the injctors and then install everything or if you have another car to drive around dont drive the tc 'till the injectors go it and proper tune.

Dunno if Im allowed to post this here, but I thought it might help - I have some 410cc injectors for sale for $120 shipped to your door, they'd work great with the FIC and a stage 0 setup - I ran them on a T3/T4 50 trim at 7-8 psi - i was between 75-85% duty cycle at 240whp on my auto - im sure theyd do great for a stage 0 setup on an auto

might snag those injectors up next week if still available. i am going a litle out of hand spending crazy cash really fast lol but il def get it just gotta pase my self. i put the install off untill next sunday instead of this one wanna have everything ready before i put everything on. i am getting an intercooler by the end of the week as well where do you guys think i can find a good set of intercooler piping to fit good with the turbo? also isnt 10psi a litle to much for my auto tranny? my goal is 250 to 260 max hp i really wanna my tranny for a while before i end up having to get a built one? i know i am askin alot of questions but i wanna make sure i do things rite. i ve been researching alot lately but havent found direct answers on a few things

yeah def putting everything on before the tune. i wanted to install the kit this week since everyone is saying that i can run 6psi with out a tune but i rather wait till everything is ready. its a drive up to dezod so gotta make sure everything is on and ready

I give my customers 2months regardless of free tuning after the first initial tune. once they pay for one tune they have 2months to gather up all the upgrades they can stand and get their cars to me within that time frame.

i have a stage 0 and intercooler piping sucked chunks!!! i got dezod pipes and slim fans for 235shipped also the pipe connecting from the turbo outlet has to be modified. it was a pain making space in there lol but good luck.

also can you show me some pics of your set up to have a feel for how to route the piping
