Project direction HELP thread/poll

Here goes. My current project started with a 90 vert with 83k with no motor. I bought a Jspec TII from a guy in alabama before I had title issues with the shell and the car has sat for about a year. In October I got antsy and decided to start the motor. I ran it for about 2 minutes to know that it had compression, and it has basically sat since. The title issues are finally working out and its time to start thinking about the car again.

90 Vert 83k
http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...ead.php?t=7788

I have a complete FMIC setup to allow me to keep the stock hood, but I don't have anything to control the ecu with the bigger turbo and FMIC. I am running the stock 550cc injectors. My exhaust is a 2.5" DP to cat pipe to RB n/a catback.

Can I run the stock ecu with the bigger knightsport turbo an FMIC with 550s and not blow it up? (prob not). At this point, I would rather use a stock turbo than buy a RTEK and 750s or some similar route. Another reason is that this turbo may have issues and I'd rather not worry about more power and this point.

Could I run a stock turbo with FMIC and keep 550 secondaries?

What do you guys think I should do?? I don't want to drop too much more money into it as I just bought an SA that I want to play with... I just want this one driveable.

Anyone want to trade a stock turbo for a hybrid knightsport (may need work)?

Anyone have anything to say? Not even sarcastic comments?

Why not do what you want? Honestly you can easily route and mount a FMIC, what you really need to figure out is what is it worth to you. I know the Official RCC NA to Turbo thread is still lacking a lot but I wrote a good 3-4 posts about choosing what you want to obtain and use.

Well I guess my main reason for wanting to go to a stock turbo is to cut down on further investment to get the car running. I already have a FMIC to istall which lets me not have to buy TII hood. To run a larger turbo, I still need to spend another $500 or so. If I sold/traded the hybrid for a stock turbo, then I could run it as is with little added cost.

My project direction could hinge on whether or not I can run a stock turbo with little added (or none) cost.
