Default gotta question about turbos

i have a turboed minime in a cx. i sputter after 3,000 rpms. i believe there is an oem fuel pump and oem injectors. i figure if i upgrade the pump and injectors, it should stop sputtering after tunning. i will probably need a fuel pressure regulator, gauge, and rail couldnt hurt right ? i only have a boost gauge. what gauges do i need to run this turbo perfectly without blowin my shit up ? someone that has experience please help me out thanx

Tuning is what makes your car run. The sputtering might be a messed up map sensor or something. Any CEL's?

yeah but if he had amelted ringland it would be smoking like a champ, i recommend get someone in front of the car that knows what is goingon, and yes some injectors and a pump would definetley do some help, hell you might need a tune up for all we know

the oe fpr and rail are just fine, if you run something like hondata or uberdata the 1:1 rising rate fpr is what is needed and the rail is good to like 400hp.

255lph hp walbro and depending on your boost 350cc-450cc injectors.

for gauges, boost, fuel pressure, oil pressure at a minimum. when getting it tuned an egt and wideband o2.

I run on my daily driver: oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, egt, wideband o2, boost, (also a boost limiter, like some electronic boost controlers have, or the limiter feature that hondata has) I run both types of limiters of course I am paranoid about blowing my daily driver so I want to know whats up at all times.

ugg greddy blue box


if you don't want your car to blow up you need to get your ecu chipped and run uberdata (cheap) get rid of that greddy blue box and GET YOUR CAR TUNED, it would help if you upgraded the injectors and maybe the fuel pump. As for other guages i would recommend oil psi, boost and egt guage (expensive used to not melt engine) but the only main important one i would say would be boost because if that goes too high, your done. as for what is wrong with your car, it sounds like you need to talk to a pro about that one
