Opinions of engine build up

Well, a 60 trim flows less than a 50 trim. I would do an SCM50 with the 272's. I had the same setup as a 2.0 and it was very fun on the street. I would strongly suggest against doing the MSII. After having the AEM, that is plenty difficult and it much more tailored to a DSM, with wizards and most things preloaded. If you want to tune every little thing, get an AEM. If you want to do basic tuning and just have a car that runs good, get DSMlink. There might be a few megasquirt maps for a DSM that you could get a hold of.

What did you use as an engine management with the 50 and the 272s? Did you use the AEM?

Thanks for the advice! I would like to go with the SCM50, is the ball bearings worth the extra money? I would like to have a good reliable turbo. I will pay the extra money knowing that the turbo can take a little more abuse.

A couple more questions I have

What size injectors should I be pairing these with?
Do you think it is worth going external gate?
If so I have the Evo 3 manifold. What place can I take it to so I can have a flange welded on?
