Default 440's to 550's + map,much more power?

Hi, im just wondering if,in the future i change the 440's for 550's,and get the ESL live re-maped,will i see much more power?
Im running 1.35bar,with the later map sensor,is there a reason i can't run more boost with the 550's fitted? Get the feeling i woudn't want to run more boost as i am.

Thanks,Mit

depends alot on what turbo your running. It may well be at its max safe boost. If the injectors you have fitted are supplying enough fuel then fitting bigger ones one have any gain at all. If there maxed out and thats what is limiting the boost then thats a different story.

Could always get a fuel pressure regulator for the 440's.

best would be to speak to paul and ask what the injectors were doing when it was mapped and whether bigger ones will enable a boost increase

440's are good enough, andyf had my td05 mapped to 1.6bar on his laptop and I was still on 440's You won't see any power increase by adding 550's
