I know the people that do DSMlink have a socketing service. Not really sure who else does it.

not sure what "socketed" if you are talking about DSM link i think the only ppl that install the E-Prom are the actual DSM link ppl.

dsmchips.com. Supposebly you can buy that chip programmed to the injectors you are gonna run or are running. So it works like a wideband. So i wouldnt need a wideband. All i would need is injectors, the chip programmed to em, and SAFC. Ever heard of it? So, in other words, the chip makes my ecu think that the stock injectors should be 660's, so it adjusts it accordingly.

ok but if you are running that chip. the chip is telling your ecu that your stock injectors are 660... i got it so far? well what if your engine is actually requiring 660s and the stock injectors are over working and your fuel pump is pumping as hard as it can but is exhausting itself b/c it can't provide that much fuel.... your gonna 1 burn up your fuel pump, 2 possibly hurt your injectors, 3 be running lean as hell, and 4 if you run it like that long enough it will blow the engine!!! do it right, i know it costs more but how important is your car to you? get a set of 650injectors, new walbro 190fp, rr fpr. the wideband and safcII can wait.
