Inhaling and Exhaling...

With the MC, why can't you just use the entire MC fuel system? I thought
that's what most people did w/ transplants.
I have not BTDT, so if there is something that makes this very
difficult,
sorry if I made it sound so easy. I'm trying to convince a friend of
mine
to do the transplant to his 4kq.

Yeah but at 6psi you can use the stock fuel and ignition systems. Maybe
even 8psi. I didn't push more than 6 without an extra injector, Javad
says 8-10 is okay, YMMV. Mike
