why does it need 9 injectors (8 plus aux) and possibly 2 oil coolers :S

it is listing the standard cooler AK, i just copied the spec, i checked the paperwork and the fancy injector listing is really just uprated injectors

Yeah I did think 8 injectors was a bit overkill too. Aps stuff is good though and expensive. Is the turbo laggy? Mine was great and didn't need anything unexpected. Just change oil regularly with decent oil. I used 5w40 but everyone says something different. Check coolant regularly too to make sure it's not using any. I always used shell optimax as mine was mapped on it but I would always use super ul at least. Also g box oil may need changing if not been done. Use castrol syntax as makes the shift a lot smoother. Mine did low 12s quarters and never went wrong. Love them!

Drives great even off boost, pulls hard and rips through the gears because its jdm low ratio. Wouldnt like to commute in it though as its shocking on fuel worst than my evo i think and its not very nice on long journeys without the bung in, too bloody loud.
Had a play recently with a c63 amg, can remember looking down at the speedo as i hit 6th gear and thinking this is naughty as fook

well just picked it up and had a good drive about in it, all i can say is wow.
handling is unreal, the acceleration is scary (to me anyway) - it is way to loud for me, it backfires ridiculously on overun and sounds like a shotgun firing - because of the decats so going to have to look to change that as its bit to extreme for me.

going to have this remapped next week, i have a feeling previous owner has it mapped to overfuel for popping and banging, it is getting me into all sorts of trouble late at night and early in the morn
hoping to maybe see BHP increase since fitting of new headers.
