Yes and yes. Seems like an awesome deal, and it should definitely give you great performance gains.

You will need bigger injectors for sure. I'm not sure how much bigger, hopefully somebody will tell you what will work best, but I'd say at the least 55lb. And the AFPR and wideband are also a must have!

sounds like a great setup you are putting together.

one more thing because you seem like you know whats up. the stock intercooler piping, intercooler, and stock manifold are not bad items it seems.

yeah heaps of people making 350+whp with standard cooler and pipes inlet .so most people don't go near them until they have good exhaust turbo and fuel system with a bit of adjustment..
then there is the tank mod done my Lindsey on the standard cooler good value as well as there waste gate work over .
The lindsey boost enhancer or inline pressure relief via ebay is a good way to get the car to spool up better for 10 minuts work and $50

I bought it from a reliable ebay source from CA. I talked them down from 900 to 600. Took a while. But it should be here tom.

Of course, used turbos are a gamble, but lets assume still in good shape. You NEED to find out what injector size and Fuel Pressure that Chip is tuned for. Then get that size. Should be a serial number on the chip, then call Kokeln to see if they can tell you what it was programmed for.

Thanks for the info. I will ask them through mail or like you said call with the serial number. Hey they have an awesome record with ebay for many years and if the turbo does not turn out excellent like they stated ill be glad to give them some bad feedback. But yeah it is a gamble.
