Garrett turbo, standard st205 ecu?, GT2860RS has arrived. Options

[delusionz]

It's looking more and more like I've blown another CT turbo, and I've had enough

So I have some coin to spend on a new turbo, but not enough for an ECU (cost more than the turbo).

What can I run with basic fuel mods?

GT2860 - Should be a close match to an upgraded CT20b, Shouldn't have to worry about dangerous leaning?

GT2871 - Direct replacement for GT2860, Flows more air than my fuel system can provide, but a good investment for later on when I can afford the ECU

GT2876 - We're already talking high power turbos, why not go straight to the best compressor in the T28 series?

I definitely want Ball Bearing, and I need to run safe boost on stock ECU (for now)

Suggestions?

On the stock ECU im sure you could get away with a 255lph pump or maybe/in conjunction with a FPR. Basically if you up the pressure you could push your 540's into the 600 range. That might be enough for fuel requirements.

Or you could run with larger injectors. But nonetheless you would still need to circumvent the boost/fuel cut. Some way of measuring your AFR's as well.

Basically its easily possible to run 350-400bhp without swapping the stock ECU. But you would need to find the right balance of fueling requirements to get there or just stay there safely.
