Volume vs. Pressure ?
A bigger turbo flows more air (volume); so at the SAME PRESSURE does(the same engine) makes more power than with a smaller turbo? True or false.
If I go single turbo and keep the boost at 10psi, should i worry about upgrading the fuel system? Speed Freaks not need to apply. Thank You.
Maybe I should start a poll.

Depending on which turbo you go with. Bigger the turbo the more oxygen molecues it'll push into the engine, meaning leaning condition. If you have a 10psi wastegate spring then you can run it at 10psi and it'll make more power due to more air. I would at least get a fuel pump and a Fpr just to be safe. You really can't tell unless your dyno your car.

Absolutely you should worry about upgrading the fuel system, the extent that you will need to modify it again depends on the turbo you choose. You could run a TO4E at moderate boost with just a fuel pump upgrade and a RRFPR. A T88/T78 on the other hand would want a lot more fuel than that.
