Should i get a fuel sensor (New Stage 2)?
#50
Rail sensor and pump are not gonna get you any real gains on a standard turbo, since the standard pump and sensor can run enough fuel/pressure for the small turbo's capabilities.

You can argue that a bigger turbo (say a hybrid) that operates at higher rpm will even run more power on standard pump/sensor as the pump can spin faster and still make good injections at 1350bar or so out to 4500rpm for more power.

You only really NEED a pump/sensor to go over 300lbft at 2000rpm or 180bhp at 4000rpm kinda ranges. I've seen both those figures on standard pumps/injectors/sensors in isolation.

Only time you really need injections THAT short where rpm are that high, and IQ's so high, that you NEED the sensor, it's gonna be a pretty special tune imo (ie, over 200bhp)

Simply running high pressure for the sake of it probably costs in parasitic losses, higher fuel temps and other stuff, so possibly costing you mpg at cruise if you are not careful!

Hmmm
