Default I need some advice quick

Ok. I built some custom ITBs after seeing them on the Homemadeturbo.com Techpage. They turned out great. Nice welds, syncronized, well adjusted. I got a vaccum manifold and all that stuff too. But I am hesitant to put them on. I got a B16a3 that just hit 132,000. I am afriad if I install these that it would blow my engine to shit. Anyone know if these things will work on my engine as of now? Thanks

They will work but can't just bolt them on. You will need a standalone fuel management system to control them.

If you have that, why not? My turbo GSR has almost 140k miles on it.

A SAFC will not cut it. You will need a standalone like AEM EMS to control the ITB's.

you definitely need a stand alone or programmable ecu. i hear good things about using crome to tune itb's.
