does it need to be upgraded?is it damaged or maxed out and your not happy?a ta49 is a nice jump on a stock motor but if your are running the stock turbo on low boost and think a bigger unit will make the car faster you will be disappointed.i like the tt chips for tuning.

What he said^^^ and add a hot wire kit for the new fuel pump plus a scanmaster to monitor knock and for tuning your car. When you get new injectors get the chip from tt at the same time with all your mods listed so he can burn it to run good. Last thing welcome to the darkside and good luck!!

What size injectors do y'all recommend

 

[kandc7]

What size do you have now? 30lb?

60# and a matching TT chip.. will cover a lot of future mods

 

[kandc7]

If your looking for low 13s. 60 lbs will be over kill. But if your planning on going faster than that in the future I would pick up 60lb or 80 lbs I believe there the same price. Or they used to be. But either one is over kill for 13s. Plan on what your goal for the long term and but once lol

 

[Boost231]

Grand the 80s as they will be good for years to come and e85 if you chose to go that route down the road as well

 

[V6sleeper]

60#ers will run the same from 13s on down, and idle fantastic.
