anyone????? coming from highly modified custom turbo setups on 1.8T vw engines (Audi TT, Audi A4 and Jettas) ive seen my fair-share of those BOSCH injectors...etc. Ive been trying for a while to get every-sort out for my custom supercharger setup but its really hard since all the "high-end" custom shops here are scared as hell from working on MBs (but they fill at home with the bmws / vws)..and I shortly found someone that is dying to work on my car
....good old friend that hadnt seen in a long time. ROTARY-powered champion in the state of florida. Ran 7 seconds with a little 1.1L engine

Vortech for those who don't know have been in the business for many years.
I need someone here in Toronto, Canada to blow my Cab. I need to move to Cali.

I think it's better to upgrade the fuel pump vs just adding an adjustable fuel reg.Just my .02.I'm interested in knowing the results,keep us posted.

It does lean out a little bit at the top (not enough to harm the motor), but this is due to the ME2.0 software in the car right now - the problem is not present on 2001+ cars with ME2.8. The ECU will address this issue. :0)
When I go F/I this will be my route.Mario's E55 uses ME 2.0 software and the car runs rich I believe he says.So I guess each will run different.You can program the ME 2.0 software to run rich. I still stand by piggy back or standalone though.

Mario's car uses ME2.0 but he's also got a 55 (different injectors, etc.) I was thinking about going standalone, but I want to keep it smog legal and I'm not sure how standalone would fit into that.
Either way, I'm just trying to squeeze the most ponies I can out of the current setup. Right now it runs great with no drivability issues whatsoever, so I'm already pretty happy.

Are you having F1 roll and stretch the rear fenders? They might have to cut and remove the whole inside fender, this is what they did on my Bimmer.

As for the fenders, my friend has a fender roller, I'll probably do it myself unless it involves trimming.
