how safe am I?(boost)

Well I installed by 3" dp/mp today along with a new fuel filter and a walbro fuel pump. I also put some redline fuel system cleaner in. I am going to have my gauges put in as soon as I don't have to work again. So how safe should I be right now with fuel and boost? I would like to test it out to see how much faster it is but don't wanna risk blowing my engine.

Well if you have those injectors installed I wouldn't worry, if your worried about overboosting just take the restricter pill out of the pressure sensor line and you won't boost over the wastegate spring psi, I'know this becasue I am missing my restrictor pill and am not boosting over 5.5 psi.

Well I don't have the injectors yet. But I want to run higher than stock levels. Guess I might have to just wait till I get my gauges in. What about with the injectors...do you think I can run full 3" exhaust, intake and the TID mod?

you can drive decently fast, I just wouldn't try any WOT runs until you get the gauges in.

I'm going with the same setup with exception of having the stock 550s blueprinted at RC-Engineering and custom 2.5" TID as opposed to the 3" ( I also made a 3" if this one is unsatisfactory.)
