hey guys.... im getting new intercooler piping and a speaco intercooler....the 3000 pipe is 2.75 and the rest is 2.50 im still using my stock turbo (getting upgraded ct26 soon)which pulls about 6-7 psi and stock injectors K&N filter etc......the question is........
is the intercooler & intercooler piping providing more air or better flow cuz i dont know if i will run lean or not.....
if i do run lean can i level it out with just a new Areo FPR ??? or what would be a good idea???

I come from a land down under
The Fuel metering is based on what goes through the AFM so the motor doesn't care what happens after there in the pipes.

No it won't run lean just from bigger IC and pipes.

Find a lexus junkyard around your area and get an air flow meter off of a Lexus LS400 and put in in your car just like you get it. I did this and have been driving my car for 2 or so years without any fuel or lean problems. If you have problems with fuel cut, check all of your intake pipes and vacuum lines.

I can run 18psi on a Super60 stuffed CT-26 with no problems.

look into the MAFT... IMO it's a better alternative than the lex afm... you could even get MAFT PRO... I've heard a couple people saying they liked theirs... I'm sure someone will chime in about their MAFT PRO...
