Cost is the reason for the turbo, $300 shipped with a 6 month quarantee.
The 220cc injectors are used on all the 2.5L motors including the 200hp KLZE. At 10psi I figured I was at approx. 200 hp. The FMU, Fuel managment unit, is used to raise fuel pressure when it sees boost. I have an 8:1 ratio unit but they come in many different ratios. So for every 1 psi of boost it is supposed to raise my fuel pressure by 8psi.
The setup I have has a reputation of not being very reliable and from what I have read would probably agree. In the not so distant future I will be installing Meqasquirt, its a standalone/piggy back for the ECU.
I'm not sure if you have been to a site called Probetalk but there are alot of boosted 2.5L's on there and even more good information.

I have only seen one picture of a twin turboed K series motor and that was not installed in a car. it should make for a very unique K8

Understandable there, cost is always the issue for everything.

Thanks for explainging the FMU, over here we call them AFPR (Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulators) though as you saif they are a touch crude in there fule control and apiggy back alike the SAFC2 would be alot better

I may have to have a look onprobe site see if I can find a twin setup!!

Hope it wil be unique! would be nice to say its the only one in the world :lol:
