chooch Member 256 Member For: 20y 10m 22d Location: Adelaide Posted 11/10/05 04:12 AM Share Posted 11/10/05 04:12 AM Hey guys, I'm bit of a novice when it comes to Turbo's and when I discoverd that so much more power can be extracted from a standard T with hardly much effort or money I was convinced.From reading through this forum, I think the best and cheapest setup would probably be a CAPA flash tuner edit plus 42lb 25mm racetronix injectors. This would cost a total of about $1350 and I believe would achieve between 250 - 270 rwkw.I have a few questions.1 - Does a dealer actually install the edit and injectors for me, or do I have to install the edit and injectors myself?2 - Will my Ford dealer know that I have an EDIT or different injectors?3 - what other costs are invloved apart from the actual flash tuner box and injectors? e.g labour or more partsThanks for any repsonse.

The tuner will install the injectors and should also gap the plugs an provide a custom tune, this should cost around $500-$600, you should make about 260RWKW2. Ford will know you have different injectorsHope that answers some of your questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
