   Im not looking to use standalone on a turbo conversion so im looking for opinions on what would be better to use for fuelling;
   -Mf2 with extra injector or
   -Dastek with 4 bigger injectors
   Which one has proved more effective, effiicient and reliable?
   Spec to be used with;
   GT25 turbo
   DP manifold, downpipe etc
   Cituning intercooler
   Forged pistons low comp
   Looking to run around 10 psi
   Thanks

   mf2 will be easier and cheaper to setup but have hassle of sorting the fuel lines etc.

   Both Dastek and MF2 work fine on low boost setups. If you go Dastek you will have to get a boost module. If you go MF2 I would recommend getting a SigCon 2 or 3 as well. Both will require a 2 bar map sensor. If your talking new parts there similar money to stand alone these days so that may be worth looking at. You will have to have a look at a better clutch too.

   i like the look of both systems.
   the thing that is putting me off standalone other than the cost is that iv heard with 3 plug ecu's its a nightmare to fit and then some have problems with dials etc

   how difficult is it to set up a fuel line for mf2?
   i thought it was just putting a t piece in the standard fuel line...

   t piece thats the one to be honest if you are on a budget and want least hassle go the mf2 route simply because on the 3 plug cars as you said and more itme to wire up on standalone mkf2 and sigcon buzz and few wires t the mf2/sigcon wires in and setup

   so you would advise the mf2 over a dastek?
   what size 5th injector should i use if i want to run around 8-10psi and over 160bhp?
