Easiest way to have 20 psi in an EJ22T?

I have an EJ22T in my bug and I was wondering what would be the easiest way to get 20 psi? I understand that the ECU will not like any more than 10 psi and so, what would be the best ecu to use and what need I in order to do this. Thanks in advance.

Re: EJ22T ECU Wiring Questions - Engine swap to bug

The car now runs, it did not have power to the injectors power feed wire. Now that the engine runs I must chase a vacuum leak.

I am getting spark, the fuel pump runs as it should. I need to determine why the injectors will not fire.

I have changed the spark plugs to NGK Iridiums, the existing ones turned out to be black and I dont know how o...

Re: EJ22T ECU Wiring Questions - Engine swap to bug

FYI - I got the ECU to boot, check engine light comes on and the fuel pump cycles.

My 6 year old placed something on the exposed timing belt which was sucked into the pulley and snapped the belt. I will replace the belt once it stops raining and hopefully start the car.

Thanks for the help.

Re: EJ22T ECU Wiring Questions - Engine swap to bug

Thank you for the input. In my research I concluded that I should have 12 volts going to the light green wire and I glad to see the confirmation. I see how the diode prevents the backflow of current and this circuit keeps the car going in the even of failure from the battery or alternator. I did con...
