Nowadays, people like to run the bigger nozzles. It makes sense, especially if E85 might be in your future. Go for the 1000's, for sure!

You can hold off on the double pumper until you actually decide to use E85 depending on whether or not it is available in the area that you should move to.

So, go ahead and upgrade to the 1000 c.c. injectors when you swap out your stock turbo for the TOMEI ARMS. With the 1000 c.c. nozzles and the Tomei ARMS, the single WALBRO will serve you well both on pump gas and Q16. But, once you start running Ethanol, then you 'll probably want to install a double pumper.

Hey bro question for you, do you have to mess with the map to use the torco accelerator for you to be able to use it or you just add that to the 91 octane pump gas and ready to go without switching your map to it? I want to try it and see the difference. thanks.

I think i phrased my answer wrong, I already had 1000cc injectors as i run E85 right now on the stock turbo, the reason I got the Tomei was to have around the same power and spool that I have now but on pump gas. Although we don't know what this turbo makes on low boost and pump I'm sure we can all agree that It's better than the FpGreen in both spool and power....only time will tell though but I expect great quality from a company like tomei.....but you are right though, you can hold off on he double pumper with the 1000cc if you don't run E85.

Are there any proof out there to prove the Tomei Arms is better than Green besides the E85 tune from AWDmotorsport?

I plead the fifth...lol how many tests do you need though?? only a couple people have this turbo and thats why I stated "only time will tell though but I expect great quality from a company like tomei" just ask Diiirk himself how it feels compared to the green, im pretty sure he is satisfied with the switch.

I dont see any reason y it isnt. better housing design, similar size wheels in the turbo and no core charge.

pretty much i change the down pipe, manifold and o2 housing to Tomei the injector where upgraded to FIC 750cc injectors other then that the car has been the same since the last tune. For the second stage of this install im going to put in the following Tomei 270 mivec cams, Tomei Cam Gear, Supertech Dual Valve Springs, ARP head studs
