I've actually seen 24psi by 3400rpms on the same size turbo( a TD61 however) on a car we built in house.

A well built car is one with a 3.5 or 4" full exhaust, a nice tubular manifold that doesn't have over-sized primaries, a full ignition system, a good tune, a well built motor( new housings/rotors etc), and last but not least one that has been boost leak tested.

Everything is bone stock in the engine bay. Will I need new injectors, fuel pump, clutch, or will it all be ok to handle it the way the car sits?

Thanks,

Darin
Are you on a tight budget?
Are you ever going to want more power?
What package of RX7 do you own?

There are some "absolutes"... some "maybes"... and some "i wish i would have" written all over your post.

I would focus on cooling (water,oil and air), fuel and a good tuner. Sounds like you already have a good exhaust set up. I would look into wat/meth injection kit too.

As far as the clutch... I am running the original clutch with 45k miles making 297tq and its holding up just fine.

When you do your build make sure you buy versatile parts that will allow you to grow if need be. 350whp is fun but later on down the road you will want more.

Good luck and have fun.

there is some maybes but I am willing to drop 8K with no questions ask if when I feel I have the right parts lined up. I will not do any wat/meth injection sorry. I will be happy around the 350 to 450 range and I dont like to show off on the street and stay in th shadows and she will not be street driven much at all.
