On OFAB you will need a 195 chip to run anything like that, without it, the car will run like a bag of shite due to the incorrect injectors!

Greens cannot be put on the fiesta rs turbo management due to the impenece difference on the injectors. the ecu will not control these. Bieges are a very common choice amongst alot people however if you have any plans on running anything over one bar of boost bieges just will not work. It will run mega lean on boost. The best thing to do is get a customised chip through msd and ask advice on injectors normally magnetti are a good choice. However ask their advice. you will be looking at a good Ł700 on a custom chip, set up at msd and injectors but it will be done right.

I disagree. Blues are good for up to a bar, beiges are for beyond. It wont run lean with the correct chip.

You will need some form of chip to run anything other than standard boost or it will boost cut.
Should be fine running around until a remap as long as you keep your boost as low as you possibly can to be safe, and drive easy!
At least that is what I would do.

Blue rs turbo injectors? for a bar of boost, you are mad man, bieges are the way forwards for a bar, 20 psi and you are looking at different injectors, i have an escort rs turbo running bieges at the min on efi and mine was mapped by msd, my bieiges are on the limit top end at a bar!!! standard blues aren't worth time of day over 10 psi, good for minor mods with a chip. definatley need a form of chip to prevent cutting boost tho.

my advise would be to get a gotech mfi ecu and loom from jamsport or sitech racing, it is fully mappable, can run both loa and high impedence injectors, it has a built in map sensor and pick up crank signal off the dizzy. All you will need is a few bits such as injector rail/reg, machined injector inlet etc. I think its 700 plus vat installed and mapped (dont quote me on that)

I think this is a better option as the ofab/c management is crap, its good if you are going to leave it alone but if your thinking about more boost and mapping then its just not up to it

hope this helps
