10 psi?

ok ive looked and looked and there about 1000 things but they dont really say what ive been lookin for. With the stock turbo and stock intercooler and injectors, will 10 to 11 psi ok. The wastegate is ported all i have is 3" dp 2 1/2 back no cats and an fcd. Do i need to get bigger injectors and an safc, or haltech this is for my stock dailly 88 turbo II

get a walbro fuel pump. and dyno it. every car is different. some people on here run that setup (with the pump) and have ok A/F numbers all the way.

i have that setup with 680cc secondaries and it runs strong and smooth. id like a safc for the extra power of getting it tuned.. but im happy with it for now.

You can run your stock Inj. at 10psi but... they wont last long running them at max duty. Some have said that 10psi will work, and it will, its just there being pushed to the limits every time. Dont run more than 10-12psi on the stock IC, it will heat soak fast when ever you stop.

More power means you need to spend more money if you want it done right. Fuel pump and injectors, IC, Maybe a rewire on the pump,then something to tune it. Dyno time. And you know your turbo wont hold the 10psi to redline? Depending on your car it could die off after aboout 5K rpm down to as low as 6-7psi. Differs per car.
