More fuel?

Alright guys, it's the holidays, so I figure I'll treat myself (and the rex) to some goodies.... I was thinking about upgrading some fuel components, but I'm not too sure what I should do. Here's my mods.

1987 TII
3" RB turbo back exhaust with presilencers and no cats
FCD

Without an intake, I figure I probably don't really need the extra fuel right now, but it's nice to know that I have a fighting chance if I decide to get an intake and/or port the throttle body. so should I even bother adding fuel now, and if so, just a pump w/rewire, or should I look into upgrading/adding injectors? Thanks guys

I've got a boost gauge, but the dumbfuck that put it on the car before I bought it put it in the wrong place. I reads anywhere from 0 up to 10-12 psi. I'm assuming it's half assed accurate at full boost since I was estimating that I should be pushing around 10 psi. I'm going to hook the boost gauge up right over thanksgiving break since I don't have enough tools up here.

which route should I take with adding more fuel? Is the fuel pump/rewire first up, or should I bump up to 680cc secondaries? Thanks

I bet you are running 10-12psi, could be even higher if you had an intake. you are running to much for the stock system. where is the gauge now?? and where did you plan to put it?
