ok the probe injectors well work,but you well need to get the pigtails for them,so you can wire them into your harness. a t3.45trim is small ,but you wont have much lag, and it should make the power goal you are after. go with 2 1/2 exhaust all the way along with intake pipe as well. if you are running a auto tranny with this setup you might be close to hitting a 14.7-14.9, but more than likly a 15-15.5 as you will have alot of torque steer in the 1/4 mi times, and traction will be a issue. a fmu will not work well for your hp goal,and you can use the same fpr, and spark plugs. i woulg go a step colder but you dont need to. always run ngk they work the best. dont forget to upgrade the fuel pump ,and i would us the emanage to get a better tune. it will help with the timing under boost. hope this helps you a little.

That does help alot, yeah once i clean the injectors i'll fix up the wiring on them, i should be getting my walbros pump soon, and i got ngk v-powers, so this turbo should handle up to 200hp or so? an auto tranny is better for 1/4 mile? I'll be getting some new tires/rims plus lowering the car, and got strut bars, wat else do you think i can do for the traction issue?
Heres what it says on the website about the turbo: Plus i made a mistake its .42 not 45
