Do you not have the factory ecu from 84? That would be the easiest way. If it's not available ther are a lot of options, in my opinion the PiMP is best. No MAF needed, no VAM needed, just a new ecu and a couple pin swaps on your factory harness, assuming you do have that part. Other options would be a later model turbo coupe or SVO ecu, harness, injectors and VAM. If you go that route the injectors and VAM need to be the correct size for the model year ecu you get.

There is no "easy" way to run a MAF. The cheap/easy setup that will work fine for moderate setups is just an ecu/vam/injectors from an 87-88 Turbo Coupe.

ok that was my first thought to do i already have the injectors out ofa 87 turbo coupe was sure about the easiest safest way to go im on a budget so any help is nice

The safest way to go would be to use the ecu/injectors and the stock SVO air meter (I believe they all came with the large VAM). Then you can get it running and make sure everything is working correctly at moderate boost levels. After that if you're wanted to exceed the limits of the stock ecu and you have the money to do so, you can upgrade to a PiMP or something.

Your SVO should already have the same vam as the Turbo Coupe (3" in/out).
No, you can't tune it with the stock ecu.

You can't tune any stock ecu. You'll have to get a chip for a stock unit, or get an aftermarket ecu.

That's kind of a loaded question as it depends on your goals, tuning experience, available funds, and timeframe. Clearly I have a soft spot for our own PiMP ECU but it may not always be the best option.

im trying to reach 300 hp i have no tuneing experience im taking it to dynotune performance when it gets done cause i have no clue on how to do it i have a steady job money int really an issue i dnt really have a timeframe either im just tryin to find one that would be good for my setup that i have and i can retune later on down the road if i wanna change some things i.e. go bigger or build the motor

Typically the best tuning option is one your tuner is familiar with. I'd ask them what they have experience with and then see if any of those options work on 2.3's.
