I have purchased a turbo set up for my Sami. The kit is off a 88 with a carb. Mine is a 94 with the fuel injection. I would love to keep it F.I. so my question is "have any body here ever turbo charged a 1.3l F.I. motor? If so, did you have any problems with it running lean and how did you fix it?" All help and input is greatly appreciated.
 
What turbo are you running? How much boost do you plan on running? Intercooler?

There are a few ways to bump up the amount of fuel going into the motor. The best way to do it is to buy bigger injectors and use a SAFC or other piggyback. The ghetto way to do it is to use a "fuel management unit" off of ebay.
 
You need to talk to Drew on 4x4grace. He drives a turbo sami and custom built it. I forget his screen name, but he had a tricked out 4-runner for sale recently with a bad engine.
 
Thanks guys. Every one on grace is telling me to do a engine swap but I dont have the dough to completely redo my power train. All the help is greatly appreciated.
