Fuel Injectors?

Ok, so i was driving today and i was bogging out in 2nd gear WOT. I have tbe, boosting 21psi. intake and test pipe. Its not tuned, btu before i want a tune i was wondering if i should get fuel injectors to stop that bogging. Or is something else causing this? What size fuel injectors if needed

Define "bogging out" ... this is more likely a boost leak or MAF problem from the intake install.

Injectors are not needed unless you run E85 or a bigger turbo.

I'd suggest a Walbro 255 fuel pump before the tune, as it will make you run richer, but the IX's don't need it nearly as bad as the VIII's do.

Man i really hate to be "get a tune guy" but get a tune before driving the car hard. I drove mine hard with cams and all but with a base flash on the car. Buddy of mine drove his hard with your mods and no tune and blew the head gasket on the dyno. Its not worth it. Lower the boost and cruise until you get some kind of a flash man, even a base flash will make a WORLD of difference.
