it looks like you might be able to use the ve injectors. i can only tell by comparing connector colors so i'm not 100% positive. you will need some sort of way to control them since they are bigger. apexi s-afc, greddy emanage, etc. should work. the best way would be to get your ecu reprogrammed.

you have any pictures of your setup?

I'd be more worried about supporting the turbo's fuel requirement witha correct fuel map than the injectors

yeah, vg's are side feed as well. the n/a vg injectors definately won't supply enough fuel for the turbo engine. they are only 180cc so you will definately need something bigger a long with a better fuel map.

I distinctly remember a respectable member saying that the VG's were top feed.

oh well. Me goes back outside to stare at my injectors.

I'm thinking that the harness connectors may be different. Thought I read that somewhere on here, that the alignment "keys" are in different places. Guess if that's true you could file them off or something..

I just pulled the VE injector and the 89-92 VG injector out of their respectivr sealed bosch boxes and can conclusively say they have the same metal body but very different connectors.

the 7/92 - 94 VG has the same exact connector as the VE though just a different color
