What I will tell you though, is the majority of it is starting out with a '94 turbo IDI injector pump and maxing out the fuel screw in the access hole. Then open the top of the IP up, pull the fueling assembly out and cutting short the idle spring, then tighten the fueling nut until the idle is as high as you can bear, this adds more fuel, especially up top, but also raises the rpm redline fuel cutoff. SO BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER REV. Then advancing the timing 3 degrees faster than factory. Then disable the pressure regulator on the turbo, I get 15psi routinely.
