Need suggestions on fuel/boost issues

Brief update on what's done to my car.

3" Turbo-back Exhaust and FCD
DIY TID and DIY Cone Filter (not yet, but very soon)
DIY Ported wastegate
DIY Boost Controller (I haven't even started this one yet)

Right now, I'm seeing around 8psi, but I figure after the TID and Cone filter, it should be around 10psi. I know that's getting close to pushing the fuel system past it's limits, so I was wondering what option I should take. If you have an idea that isn't listed, feel free to give me some info on it. Thanks

just another thought.... what injector size should I look into for this set-up? 720cc's sound good?

thanks felix, but since I'm getting tired of posting new threads that no one responds to, I'll just bump this one up for people to look at again before they go back to the 18 threads about carbon fiber hoods

Thank God that this isn't another carbon fiber hood thread. Either way, I fixed my need for fuel by buying an S-AFC and an FD fuel pump. The FD pump will increase your fuel pressure, so you will need the S-AFC to tune your fuel down accordingly. It worked GREAT for me(.8 to 1.0 kilos for over a year on a 100,000 km engine).

so you didn't even use bigger injectors? What about A/F meter? If I could avoid the A/F meter, which basically I don't think i can.... then I could save money on the meter, pod and O2 sensor
