From what Ive learned around here you are missing the most important bit, a good Engine Management system. And I don't think S-AFC would be enough. Others would be able to recommend you more on this.

Also injectors might be a bit small, i think, and 18psi on the standard T28 would be near its limit.

Dunno about an approx. whp figure.

18 psi is pretty much top for that turbo. Definatly cutting down turbo life if you run it at 18 daily. Everyone is right though that list is useless if there is no adaquate tuning.

18psi? no. 14-15psi? hell yes. You might even see as much as 250whp with some proper tuning.
