converted VLT wagon

just converted my GFs na to turbo today
conversion consists of
VLt manifold
rb20 turbo
AVO1 cooler
3 inch custom dump
5 psi
na ecu
na injectors
braided stainless oil feed
just needs a front pipe.
car is sweet to drive 5 psi steady as, prolly more once the exahust is connected. so 6-7 even witn na injectors and ecu put the foot down in first at slow speeds and it spins (95 octane fuel and retarded timing)
will get a good tune up once finished.
nice little sleepa wagon hehe

we arre running 6 psi, rb20 turbo. but i am gonna boost it to about 10. will be sweet, no pinging and if it does ill just trim the timing back and take a little boost out.. with the airflow before the turbo its only seeing suction so i see no reason why it wont work, just thinks that its a Na motor making about 40kw more..

i used to be like that too, but seriously NA is 240cc and VLt is 270cc hardly worth the effort, and iff you can make 200kw on 270cc then im sure our 100kw -150kw will be fine. im thinking of getting the ecu remapped to VLT spec. im guessing they have different fuel maps, but at the same time getting the injectos chaned to run the NA 240cc so it will run exaclty like a vlt but if they came out standard with 240cc injectors, the reason being this is a budget spec build, not for power just for the fact that it is now turbo and has much better driveability and is now quieter but still hauls ass.
