I noticed that the Greddy turbo kit comes with an Emanage ECU, a fuel rail and injectors. Some of the other kits dont have the injectors, and i have not seen any that have an ECU other than the greddy. What is the benefit of the ECU? Does it matter if I have this and the injectors or not?

If you get bigger injectors(which may or may not be necessary, depending on your goals), you will need some sort of "piggy back" fuel management to compensate for the extra fuel being added in.

Since Greddy makes the E-manage, they include their fuel management in the kit. If you bought a kit from a smaller shop, they will leave the fuel management up to the buyer because they don't already manufacture it.

If you have low hp goals(like up to 170whp), you probably won't need any extra fuel upgrades. If you want over 200hp, you should probably invest in injectors/piggy-back.

Hope that helps.
