If I remember correctly, and I think I do. The Beta I engines have a MAF sensor and a return style fuel system unlike our Beta II's. I'm not sure if that's anything too difficult to overcome though.

One thing I wouldn't do is rush into a turbo if you are still uncertain about such things.

Moving to FI section.

i would do a manual swap not pay out the *** for a lvl 10...

manual swap will cost ya $600 and a few days work.


i would look at dmdicks set up.. i believe he's a beta2 alpine turbo.... dont know if he's using the unichip or whatever though...

last i heard he is using the unichip, and he's also running the sonata injectors + safc to control them. :)
