Turbo help for a Mustang GT

Re: Turbo help for a Mustang GT
It's seems so odd to me that you can TT a V-8 using 2 mods, a MAF and bigger injectors, but if you're doing a Honda, you need to do all kinds of crap. What kind of tuning will I be looking to do, after everything is said and done?

Re: Turbo help for a Mustang GT
There are a few ways to go for tuning:
1) Get a high pressure/volume pump and an fmu. Also, retard timing. This was my initial strategy. But it is really not the greatest. The good part is no idle problems etc. The bad is controlling initial richness and later leaning out. I'm convinced it can be done but I went to plan 2.
2) Get bigger injectors (36 or 42#), a mass air meter calibrated for the size injectors you choose (in oem applications, the eec is calibrated for the injectors, not the maf. Here you substitute a matched maf/inj and the eecs fuel/advance maps are used as is. Lots of people use this method. An adjustable fuel pressure regulator can help here too. This is what I am doing.
3) Get bigger injectors, a new MAF (calibration now can be done in the eec), adjustable fuel pressure regulator (?) and get a chip burned. This will be better than 2 because all your spark advance and fuel tables are now customized and verifyed by performance on a dyno.
4) Get bigger injectors, a new MAF afpr (?) and an aftermarket tuning system. Like 3 but self adjustable.
