I'm running a ct26 57 trim right now, with stock injectors and the afm. I do have a afpr along with walbro 255 but even having the upgraded turbo, my afr's on 'decreased' base fuel pressure I'm still running 10.0 WOT afrs. I can watch my boost gauge needle bend then fuel cut hits, as long as your parts are 'healthy' then you'll be completely pig rich all the time while in boost.

I got the AEM Wideband and turbo elbow (have to add second bung) being installed. Pig rich is only dangerous if the gas gets into the oil via blowby I think (which pretty well takes out all the lubrication on your bearings...). Also decided I am going to add the 550's and LIPP AFM. Now I have to decide on the AFPR.. Driftmotions kit looks like its going to do the job although if I can find one locally I may go with that. HKS has one, but it doesnt look as good (no gauge that I could see).

Good learning curve on doing this so far. After all this I will just have to learn the functions and numbers for the setup so I understand my car better while driving.

I have an extra 100PSI fuel pressure gauge around that I could let you have. You'd just have to arrange to get it to you. Perhaps one of the local members can help you out there.
