Does anyone know if you can add fuel with Eman Ulti? I want more boost but I need more fuel.
How do other kits get the fuel without pump and/or return line? All they have is injectors and eman or unichip.

Youll get a cell with that. I recomend Unichip. I have no cell and i have not CAT's lol. So um yea. Also how much more boost do you want to run. 550cc injectors will do the trick for the most part. I need to upgrade to 650cc (over kill) and i also bought a Walbro 255 pump (also over kill). Reason for all this over kill My fuel system fell short once and it will not fall short again. Return line you dont need one to get more fuel. The Subaru STI is a returnless set up and they get crazy numbers out of those cars. So dont worry about a return line.

I'm confused... I'm new to the tc's fuel system. How is fuel regulated? The reason I ask is because most piggy back systems won't let you add fuel on most cars. Does the fuel pressure fluctuate? Or is it a static pressure? Cause if it's static, then your fuel system is only as good as your pressure. And that's what I thought was the main benefit of an aftermarket return line system, is that you can use a 1:1 rising rate regulator to up fuel pressure per boost pressure. That seems to me to be the best way to "add fuel". Every piggyback fuel system that i've used was to trim fuel for extra power. I haven't run into a tc with a piggy back system yet, so I'm wondering what it does to add fuel. Does it just hold the injector pulse open longer?

Started on the install today, turbo had to be clocked in order to clear the fans. Other than that, no problems. Everything went together great, no complaints on that part. Only complaints i got is, the couplers for the intercooler piping are too big where it goes onto the turbo, gonna have to go to home depot to see if i can find a good coupler. Also, i gotta rewire the injectors and pin them, pain in the butt, should have come prewired so splicing would only be involved. Other than that, i will continue with the install tomorrow after work again. First turbo kit ive installed, spent 3-4 hours and all i have to do now is cut for the intercooler, wire the injectors, and do the return line. Not that bad of time spent. Will give updates of the next couple of days, sorry no pics.

Got the car running today, still have to put the front end on after i finish cutting the hell out of it, sux. Took the car out for a little bit tonight just on a test drive, car is running very rich, ecu still has to learn i suppose. Im running the 9psi spring in my wastegate, all i can say is good god, didnt expect it to run like it did. Couldnt get traction through 3rd gear, it was sick. No rattles, no leaks, everything is basically perfect, couldnt ask for more right now. We'll see how things go over the weekend, hopefully it wont run as rich but not to lean also. Ill bring updates.
