    Hey, it's me again!! Again, I just got done putting my motor in and my check engine light came on. So I went to go see what was going on. I plugged in and it says it running lean. Before I took my motor out i got it tuned with 565cc injectors. I took the motor out and put in 750cc injectors. I have a tune scheluled next friday. I cleared the code this morning and It has not come back on yet. So I'm just wondering am I going to be ok?? Or what can I do?? I am changing the oil tomorrow and since I've been breaking in the motor I have not gone into boost... So should I go to a shop and adjust or am I fine or stop driving it!?! I only have about a 100 miles on the motor so far. Again it's a 02 wrx with a built block. HELP!!!

    Uh, lets think about this, there is a 25% difference in injector size.

    No, you're not going to be "just ok." Get a basemap for those injectors from your tuner before driving any more.

    dont drive it until you get a base map to get it to your tuner
    you should ask your tuner for a base map

    Why don't you have a wideband? They're not that expensive. Shuns on anyone who mods their turbo car without one...
