    I have mine on drivers side with 24 lb injectors @ 100psi 8lbs of boost. Runs like a champ! And I literally beat the shit out of it. Currently doing a trans swap. Also can you do video on that extra injector? Keep the vids coming bro.

    Fuck yeah! Homemade Turbo style! if you can find bigger injectors that fit (i used dsm injectors in a honda) then you can use an Apex'i SAFC to tune it. The safc will cut the map voltage so the ecu sees less air, so it opens the injectors half as much, but since the injectors are bigger you'll still get enough fuel. The ecu won't see boost, either. i had a 91 Civic (1.5 sohc) running a t25 to ~12psi...20 years ago 😅

    Take the map sensor off of the throttle body, it uses 2 long bolts, them run a hose to the nipple on the throttle body and the other end of it needs to go to a 1 way check ball valve to not allow boost, then it needs to go from the check valve to a T, one side of the T goes to your map sensor and I ran the other suide of the T through 2 more check valves to work as a way for it to bleed of pressure to the map without bleeding it to quickly,

When the boost starts kicking in the Jeep drops the afr to 10.5 - 13. Cruising with no boost 14.75. under hood temps are crazy though. I'm gonna put a turbo blanket on it and do some exhaust wrap to try and bring it down some. Probably go a step colder on the plugs too. Got a good size intercooler but intake piping still gets pretty warm.
