If you can afford an EBC then get them, search this thread coz DanielW and Ashmo both had an EBC and they got good review. Even with a BCS you wont get the quick same response as a good EBC. I believe DanielW had a speed/gear dependent boost control and he was able to adjust his boost on each gear, this allow him to hit full boost on 1st gear.

They can work with you. I was able to buy their "tuning kit" which included everything (minus the typical missing pieces, haha) except the fuel system and EMS. I actually bought it without the turbo and intercooler as well, as I bought those used from goosegoose, so they definitely worked everything out for me.

Hey Johnny I like your vids on youtube I just happened to come across some of them of your old supercharged and now sts setup. Why don't you just do the DW 600cc's and call it a day? I have those and they run, start and idle perfectly fine with the utec. Also, buy new, I just wouldn't want to buy used injectors to save a few hundred bucks with so much at stake.
I'd love to get the 600's, but I'm sick of spending $400 here, $500 there, etc. It just never ends. I do know that I'm taking a risk with used ones though. I'm hoping some ~600 DW's come up for sale in the FS section sometime soon.
athenG - Do you have the older overrated DW's like me? Or were you just saying you have some old DW's? I know the stock kit comes with true 440's, so I would think I would be fine with those. But I obviously don't want to burn the things up running them at max duty cycle all of the time.

I forget which pin you hook it up to, but yes, you simply wire the BCS ground into the UTEC, and the other to a 12v source.

I have the old rating DW too.. Have you look at the RFS? There are some added benefit of having a RFS and this will also allow you you to bump your FP just enough to stay on the safe side. I dont usually race below freezing so I'm just bring down my boost to 7psi and I'm golden, above 40F I'm still good and around 90-93 IDC at near redline. Above 60F I'm golden so I dont really need a bigger injector so I figured a RFS will give me that FP stability and an extra bump in fuel in the winter... This is just my .02 though.. I have been running above 90% IDC and so far so good but I dont usually stay in redline all the time. I think 90% is not as bad as long as you dont stay there for long...
I don't track the thing, so I'm not worried about running the car that hard for a long time. The only time I keep on it is during cruise events where I have to keep it pegged in order to keep up with Ford GT's, Vettes, and Lambos.

Stage 0 is about $500 so that is a price of a set of injectors, the problem is that you dont get much if you wanted to sell your old injector coz it doesnt flow much..

I'm going the UTEC BCS route (using the TurboXS solenoid), although not too many people have been happy with it. So far I'm getting some major wastegate fluttering, but I'm hoping an upgraded spring will fix that.
