MN JPotta turbo drft setup

So I'm looking for some more power to keep me sideways through the turns. So I picked up a Garrett 60 trim, an 8 psi external wg, bov, and some materials. I just finshed building and mounting my intercooler, and I'm currently working on my manifold but I need some help finding a few things.

I need some advice on selecting injectors, and finding a place to purchase them, I also need to find a fuel pump and maf housing. Any help with this would be great!

Here are a few photos of what ive got so far.

As far as injectors goes KG parts offers the best deal, direct drop in, cheap and easy to tune for if using Cobb or any other MAF based device. If money aint a thing then I'd go with some of these or some RC engineerng injectors.... On the MAF housing decide on what kind of setup you want pull or blow through and get or fab up a proper length MAF housing to your setup. or you can by the AEM intake like most have done on her. Walbro inline fuel pump should more than meet your needs

First off thanks for your help, secondly I'm running the cobb ap and I already have the k&N intake, should i just modify that to fit the intake of the turbo, pull through?

Yup you sure can you just need to ensure you have ample room between the compressor inlet and the Maf housing. Also if you plan on recirculating, which I highly recommend since using the cobb, you need to implement enough space for that as well.

Pull through is when you have the Maf located before the compresor inlet and a blow through is when you positoin the maf after the compressor outlet...

By recirculating do you mean my bov? How will that affect tuning if I dont?
thanks again for your help.

Yup...Between any transition of gears or throttle you will go pig rich (backfiring) and when transitioning back (getting back on throttle) it's not as smooth, much more rough. MAF setups are not VTA friendly at all.
