Its tough to see them without removing the throttle body. Take a look at this page to see what they are. You will notice the injectors here are light purple. I believe these are the USDM 440's. The JDM 440's are black I think.

[right][snapback]283368[/snapback][/right] They are generally made cheaply. I have heard that the manual boost guages are better. The electric oil pressure guage is bad too but we regrounded that and it seems to be working better now. If you are selecting guages, I would recommend another option based on my experience and others who have had problems. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Well, I found out that I have ST205 540's in my car. I am going to pull the ECU and try to find out if its chipped. I might be ready for my bigger turbo with no fuel upgrades.....overall, a good week.

When I get my skirts, I am going to complete Exterior 2.0 (with new wheels and tires too). The new turbo comes after that. My goal is a safe 300+whp at 17psi and stock or better spool. Should be fun...
