Default power, upgrade

Hi All
Well I'm looking for some advice for fitting a VF34 & STI injectors to my standard bugeye.As I've never worked on a turbo before will I need to change the manifold to fit the turbo.Also what else will I need to upgrade to get the best power from the upgrade.I know it will have to be tuned & my exhaust changed from turbo back-it's already got a cat back varex.Any advice will be much appreciated.Also anyone available to help with upgrades (paid of course).By the way will I still be able to drive it until I can get it booked in for tune.
Cheers

Don't need to change manifold, turbo will fit, you might want to get rod of the standard up pipe as it has a cat in it and can cause issues

If you swap injectors you will need a tune or the car will not like it

Take the parts & car to the garage and get them to fit & tune.
Obviously it will be a tad more expensive due to labour.

You *might* be able to drive it off boost from home to the garage depending on distance but certainly no daily duties.

Nice choice on turbo & injectors, Im running the same. Have you upgraded your fuel pump yet? If not you will need to. Also an STi TMIC will help get the most from the turbo, the WRX one is significantly smaller.
