Hey guys,
Recently acquired a vf8, wrx tmic, 565cc injectors, and already have a 3 inch catless turbo exhaust. Do I need to install any type of engine management for these parts or am I still ok with the stock turbo ecu?
All this is going in a 1994 Aspen White Legacy Turbo 5spd Sedan...131xxx original miles, bone stock (except for exhaust) and it is a very clean engine, never given me any issues...
Thanks guys,
BatLegacy

The injector are to big for the stock ECU to handle.
The largest know to work reasonably well are the 440cc 'grey tops'.

The other upgrades are cool with the stock ECU. Watch out for boost cut, the VF8 might hit it around 16-18 PSI. Search for "FCD" (fuel cut defender)

-Piggy-backs work, but stand-a-lone is the way to go. From what I hear, Rob's tune is a good bang for buck too!
