Performance Upgrades

Post by KCCats »

Ok here is what I have learned in my rebuild!
There are Mercades injector tips that will pass more fuel.
There are a couple of different Garret turbos which will require an adapter plate.
And it's possible to increase output on the stock turbo with a different wheel and reworking the waste gate.

I tried Merc Nozzles and GTD nozzles on my AAZ and went back to a new set of stock AAZ nozzles.
On the AAZ, replace the 1.9 turbo with a Garrett T3 from a 1.6. I'm making great power now.
