Air/Fuel Ration question

I have a 255lph walbro fuel pump that I'm running with stock injectors, and I have a 88T2 with a s5 Turbo conversion done. My question is Im running a max of 10psi. boost, is my fuel setup sufficient enough to support this boost level?

Those things are useless for deciding if your mixtures are safe. The only way to know for sure is to get it dyno'd. This should be the first thing you do after a conversion like this, so you know if it's running properly and safely.

Sure.

I still stick to my premise that AFR gauges are cheap, effective monitors that tell you when you're in deep doo-doo.&nbsp "Useless" is a bit extreme.

Besides the shitty mileage I was getting, my A/F Ratio Gauge told me my O2 Sensor has had It. Gauge did me well.

You're absolutely right and I totally agree, which is why I have one. But the stock O2 sensor isn't nearly precise or consistant enough to tell if your mixtures are safe, which is what I said.
