Morning all my monaro didn't sell of eBay even at cheap money I had it up at, am I'm so glad so it's officially a keeper now smile. On the downside I walked out my well paid job so mods are on hold for a little while . I have a question or two on turbocharging . 1 is there a cam that will benefit in n/a form but just be as happy when f/i later on ? 2 will the std ecu cope with a low boost setup or cope with any f/i mod ? Cheers alec.

Good to hear it's staying smile

Stock ECU can only read up to 1 bar, so any FI will mean it then just guesses on fuelling, I believe basically just dumping the same amount in as it did at 1 bar. Now they do run a little rich from the factory, but that's fairly risky...

For the money, after the exhaust of course, a 3.9 diff and a remap would see a dramatic improvement in acceleration for relatively little outlay, especially if you can fit the diff yourself!
