UPDATE!! For right now I am planning on keeping my car until at least the summer. Until them I am going to get ECUflash and EVOscan. Slightly bigger injectors (as I am taxing the limits of my stock ones), remove the MAF restrictor plate, and then tune away I am expecting some good gains since I will finally get a good A/F and then be able to alter timing etc.

How do you know you're maxing out the stock injectors? I would be very surprised at that considering even turbo guys can use the stock injectors.

I took off my MAF restrictor plate, tried to tune with the SAFC and got to +50% fuel (maxed out the SAFC) and was still running 18:1 AFR so I am figuring I am maxing the stock injectors. Not sure what else would cause this.

I highly doubt you're maxing the injectors, my guess is it's either a problem with the SAFC, a problem with removing the restrictor plate or a problem with the stock ECU adapting.

we'll see, I just put 2 and 2 together. If I come across some cheap injectors I might just swap them out for the hell of it just to make sure.

Well the way I see it, if turboed lancers can run without new injectors, an NA one sure as hell doesn't need them.

Agreed.

Regardless, he's going to be better off going with something like a flash rather than using the piggyback.
