T3 60 trim .48a/rexternal waste gateStock everything.5psiWill my stock ecu be able to adjust to the boost? our stock 270cc Injectors can also handle it right? lolz

I will upgrade the set up later in steps, i will keep it like this for about 3 months, than i will add 440cc injectors, safc, ineercooler, radiator, tune about 250hp. Next step I will get new clutch, pistons and rods, and than tune it to the car's full protential. But for now will this gettho set up last for 3months with 300miles of highway every month?

You NEED fuel management if you'd like to keep your engine.

a friend of mine has a ka-t and runs the stock fuel injectors and the mafs at around 7psi, but he has a safc. I'd suggest getting one too, just for your engine's sake. Idk if the stock ecu will be good at 5 psi, but i wouldn't wanna be the guinea pig..lol

Some folks run an fmu to max out their stock injectors, but it's not worth it imo.Save for some bigger injectors and some type of management, don't half-a$$ it or you may regret it when things go ka-blewy.

The stock ecu with no fuel control mods (like a safc) only supports boost up to 0 psi.

^^ false statement. Any air movement is more then 0 psi and i bet it could take a nice half a pound of boost nicely

fine. 0 psig. how's that?

The trick to running .5 psi would be finding a wastegate spring for it. haha.
