get injectors and you can boost what ever aslong as you tune for it, and don't go over 18psi without internel work.

BTW it's a turbo manifold, header(s) only go on NA or supercharged motors.

Basically what the guy above said, get bigger injectors, the S15 Spec-R is good between 18-20psi, its the turbo I have. If you go that high make sure to run race gas to play it safe, but always make sure your car is tuned. A/Fs play a big role in whether your motor will live or die.

the safc will run them alright. you get into trouble with anything bigger though. ive got 510s in mine with basically the same setup and i have yet to get it running as well as i would like. those 444s should be good for 12-14lbs of boost on that turbo but i wouldnt push it any higher as you will be running them too hard. i think 85% duty cycle is the most reccomended on a turbocharged car.
