    turbos & injectors

    Alright guys, this is probably a really stupid question but bear with me on this one (grrrr...get it? bear?)

    Anyway....my dads 850 T5 is completely stock with boggo map, 15G turbo and injectors but he has mentioned he wouldnt mind a 16t and white injectors for it.

    Ive got a set of injectors I can fit in it but I dont have a 16t for him to have so.....would there be any performance gains/problems with fitting white injectors to his car with the 15G and standard map?

    Obviously a remap and 16t would complete it but thats in time...

    in a word no, oranges are fine for a 16t especially on a standard map

    Just get a remap and save your money, the 15g is a great(underated) turbo on the auto.

    By fitting a bigger injectors and running standard map u will only gain the problem.
    Long term fuel trims will exceed the acceptable range (-25%,+25%) as the ECU will cut down the injection timing which will implicate a DTCs and MIL light.
