Default Upping the power

Right im upping the power from stage one to a stage 3 as im fed up of not having much power but im looking at going for more power later in the year (circa 400 - 450) and was just wondering what injectors would be best. ive heard greys would be nearly maxed out and not very smooth on tickover and off boost so what injectors could i use that are the best all round?????

Greens for a stage 3, light blues for a little bit more and greys for 400-430bhp.

There is no alround injector if your implying that you want to buy a set of injectors that will last from stage 3 - 400-450bhp, greys on a stage 3 won't be good, not that its a problem as 2nd hand greens are worth almost as much as new greys.

A lot of this will depend on your tuner's preferances aswell

get on the phone to MSD - greys, closed loop it will run like a dream, and make 400BHP whilst getting 30+mpg in the cruise

01253 508 400- speal to Stu or kenny , my mates saff (well mine now ) runs a T4 with 850cc injectors, and its awsome- can't reccomend them enough, and another mate runs his 4x4 saff on a STD engine with light blues on a T34.48, that makes 380ish bhp/ 380lbs/ft and still drives better than standard

My car's fine @ idle, off boost, on boost on greys. All depends how it's mapped. It's just as well behaved as my greens, or even when it was standard.
