Your guess is as good as mine :) did you ask the guy you bought it from?

Hey me too, I'm only 17, though I started researching this stuff a year or
two ago. About 10 months ago, I put together a turbo kit for my stock JT
motor, works well, but I wanted more! Right now I'm working on EFI....

Yeah he's got a pretty cool car! Another few months and I'll be able to give
him a run for his money, though he's got that 2.45l 20v in the
works.......Yikes!

It all depends. Figure out what you have now, and then figure out if you
really need it. Then figure out the cost. It'll cost you as little as $100
for a DIY fuel only controller, or up to 1500+ for a commercial fuel and
ignition controller, and then a bit more for the fueling components. Using a
DIY kit and some used parts, I'm going to be in at around $400 after it's
all said and done (controller, wiring, injectors, fuel rail, sensors etc.)
I'd say that if you've got a decent aux. fuel system, you probably don't
need EFI. Figure out exactly what you have, then take it from there. How
much boost are you running right now? Maybe a bit more performance from just
a little more boost.
