Oldblue, it has the Opel (flex fuel) injectors is what I was told by one of the locals here who knows more than I do, he told me that they flow 10% more fuel at the same impedance as the LNF non flex fuel injectors, this is the main purpose for looking for tuning, and a small increase in boost, from 16 psi to maybe 21 to 24 psi.

Ok, then I’ll suggest seeing how the GM kit compares, do you get duplicates like the injectors? Are the harness connections plug and play or clip and crimp? Is the flash included, is the VIN retained ?
For me, it’s a matter of knowledge, knowing what you get is important, finding out later , that you didn’t get one or several important pieces can be expensive and at the age of your ride, some pieces are obsolete.
just want you to make sure all your bases are covered!

Oldblue, after reading your responses I'm rethinking the whole turbo upgrade kit and will contact ZZP as they're much more up to date with what I have going on, thank you for the sound advice !

I remember an old kids show, called make a wish, in that show the host would say “imagine all the possibilities “ and my lawyer taught me to cover my butt! An informed consumer is the best customer!

Tough to match the extraordinary reputation of ZZP, but closer to you is RPM Motorsports in Mesa AZ. They say specialize in Ecotecs.
