Have fitted a thicker headgasket to reduce the compression (not the best way to go). He should have it back in the car by the time I get back off work and will look into modifing the ecu
I have some 27C265 eproms here, will they do?

Is there anyway to tell the turbo injectors from the standard?

yes they will do.. sorry, I hav eno idea how to tell turbo injectors.. never looked at them that hard and I dont have access to any anymore. id say look up the part number on them, you should be able to find their flow rate on google somewhere.

VL turbo injectors are 250cc/Min. They are the same as ET pulsar injectors.Standard ones are 200cc/Min I *think*

I had a set in my old head (I went twincam on my VL), I put them somewhere and alas never saw them again... :roll:
...when in doubt, simply throw more electronics at it!

then use turbo injectors (which flow more) and it should run nicely. beware of pinging tho coz it wont be running any knock contorl - especially if you are turboing a non turbo motor (higher compression) then you may want to wind the dizzy timing back a little.
Jayme, (or anyone) wouldn't have an xdf or know where I would be able to find one for this bin so I can have a look at it?

this one I got off a random forum somewhere with like 2 tables defined, then finished it myself using a trial copy of nistune and a bit of trial and error and differencing.
