Hey guys, im still under the cloud wether to go f/i or keep the vq as a N/A breathing machine...

After hours on the net browsing different options, ive come past this, its still preety new in the states and not many guys have done it yet.....

The main problem they are finding is that this set up genreates alot of heat -though a simple custom airbox could do the trick like the one below found in on an alfa(pictured below)...... i know F/I is the easiest way to get horsepower... though the N/A sound is one that i cant just let go of.. especially after i get these tomei headers...

Yeah those top secret ones are quite expensive -

Though a little shopping around and ive already found a couple of people who can help you out for a complete package setup @ 3k .....

Jenvey in the Uk and Efi technology in Victoria....

The only thing that i must add on top of the cost is good ecu... and they all reccomend Haltech.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
