Best thing to do is make sure there are no underlying issues first.

Are there any problems or are you just asking for a nice healthy mod list? If so what power are you after?

Is it standard at the moment?

The idling could be many more things than the ECU (coilpacks, boost leak, AFM, etc)

As for your power you will need the following:
- Air Filter
- Exhaust
- FMIC
- T28 turbo
- Walbro Fuel Pump
- 1 Bar boost
- Engine management system & mapping

There are different ways of getting to that power figure but that is the route I would go.

Alluminium rad is good too, one last thing to consider is your brakes as the S13 brakes will feel very insufficient at this power.

my idle problem was that the car was running lean, it would idle then start hunting up and down al the time

Fmic is front mount intercooler

The injectors can handle up to about 200kw, anything more you need to start looking at 444's or 555's

As correct as djtreble is, I would go slightly larger on the injectors depending on if u talking fly or wheel kw.... Std Injectors and the std ECU can handle upto 1.1 bar boost (Has been covered in a previous post)

Always better to be a little rich and have room for play and future upgrades..... The only SX / CA I have seen on 210.1 RWKW has 440cc RC injectors, bosch is good make though and much cheaper....

Also, if your tuner is not all that good, then you better hope you got your motor with forgies by some stroke of luck..... Coz if you run lean, ping, ping, ping, poof......
