Default How much boost?

This is the setup:
Integra LS 2001
t3 turbonetics
currently at 4.5 psi
stock fuel rail
stock fuel pump
stock fuel injectors
stock fuel pressure regulator
12:1 FMU

can I turn up the boost to 7 psi safely? or do i need fuel pump like the revhard kit?

on G2IC's site, he says stock injecotrs will fail if over 6 psi... so i think I can safetly turn it up to 6 psi..

Revhard and Drag turbos come with high flow fuel pump and FMU... and they set at 7 psi...

so that means if i get inline pump or intank pump then i can set to 7 psi?

Do Not skimp when it comes to the fuel system. The stock injectors wont hold up running 100% duity cycles all the time. And when they cant flow any more you r afr go to **** and you detonate and blow your motor. Just get a walbro 255 and some damn DSM injectors and call it a day. and besides the point 1psi isnt going to do much for you.... good luck

Inline fuel pumps suck and just starve your stock pump. And eventually the stock pump shells out. JUst spend the 90 bucks on a walbro and call it done. Very easy install.

the LS motor has the potential to run about 12 psi max, safely with a good tune. DSM injectors and a walboro 255 in tank pump will get you closer to this mark.
