not being funny but if you have to ask a question like that in such a generic fashion i suggest you take it somewhere to have it done dude! no offense. But you need custom ECU\'s and bigger injectors and theres lots of stuff to consider. You cant just bolt a single turbo to a standard car and go really fast.

I suggest you sell it to me and then use the money i give you to buy more supporting mods for when you do go single turbo!

You won\'t be able to remap the knightsport ecu, you need an Apexi PFC or Motec ecu and I\'m no expert but 750 injectors sounds too small to me.

750cc sounds far to small (I assume they\'re intended as a replacement for the primaries which are 550cc IIRC), you\'ll find that most people run far bigger injectors.

And as JohnnyP already mentioned, even if the Knightsports ECU is mappable (which IIRC it isn\'t), you won\'t find anybody in the UK who\'s able to map it. Plus, I hope that you checked it is an ECU for a single turbo car as they do one for twin turbos as well...

Yikes! injectors too small, wrong ecu, no mention of uprated fuel pump, need FPR, manifold, downpipe, oil lines, etc, etc. Take it to someone who knows!!

It very much does, because amongst other things the ECU controls the boost and turbo switchover. It\'s going to get a tad confused if there\'s nothing to switch over to if it tries and fails.
