2) The SMT8 isn't going to be enough to get the job done. You'll have to subtract a ton of MAP voltage to run 550cc injectors which will cause the stock ECU to freak out and trigger limp mode. Also the SMT8 can only control one aux injector which would be a bad idea. Get something like the AEM F/IC or go full standalone like a Haltech Elite 750 or 1000.

^^^ Bought a second rail and spoke to PerfectPower guys how to make it work.
The shitty problem is back !!! When I first start the car everything is ok. Drive it for a bit, leave it for lets say 30min and when I start it again the problem is there.
To sum it up again...
New plugs, leads, coils and tried another ECU. Also new crank sensor and fuel pump! Tried with another set of injectors and TPS!
No oil or coolant loss. The plugs are brownish, but sometimes there is a strong smell of raw fuel ?!
The problem occurs 99% when the car is hot. Under load the car misfires BAD. Even if I give it gas slowly it stalls. If you give it 100% TPS it bogs, misfires, bangs and even when it is going I can feel that the car is not how it should be.
The problem is not always there and I don't know what to do next... I'm really sick of this sh*t...
I want to finish my project, but this thing is crazy. As I said before I spend almost all of my money on the house and I don't want to buy a new car, but there is a good deal for Honda S2000 and Porsche Boxter S.
I hope I will get rid of this, but if not I have to make a decision.

HEED THIS ADVICE, there are better platforms out there to put money into. if you absolutely adore and love this vehicle, then by all means. However, realize it's a Hyundai which means if you arent happy, you will struggle to sell it. realize you will be fighting for traction because it's FWD. There are lighter, nimbler, better handling vehicles out there. some of which can be purchased for about the same amount of money you will put into this turbo kit. It's your money, do what makes you happy, but one day you might end up wishing you had better spent it on something else. realize this, every single one of the OMG SUPER HIGH HP TURBO folks either sold the car or ended up buying something else and have pushed the hyundai to the side. I had a SHO. JonGTR built a high hp nissan z. jaws, viper, madjohn, yamaha, socks and several others have sold/parted the car and moved on. there's a reason for this.

03tibe85 MAP readings are good and IAT is working fine.
I really don't know what chould it be ? I'm 100% sure it is something stupid ...
Faith, I get it and yeah you are right on this one. I love my Tib and I have almost all the needed parts to boost it, but I'm not gonna lie I've been searching for S2000, Boxter S and even 350z for some time. The problem is that all of these are N/A cars and not that powerful... so I'll want to boost the new toy ... and this means more $$$.
Will think about it very good, but for now I want to get rid of this f*cking issue.
