ive had a motor blow at 4.5psi...drive it, fine...just dont let it build boost (when ya drive it, swap back in the stock injectors and leave the 550's until ya get it tuned)

your car wont idle with 550's unless you have a basemap/management.

Use the stock injectors and you should be able to drive but DONT go into boost. You will only be able to use those injectors if you get a basemap.

i will be using a safe basemap (for 550's) from phearable.net, so is it possible to drive it with the stock fuel pump at low boost?

thanks once again

no such thing as a safe basemap. a basemap is just a guess. like everybody said already. just stay out of boost and you will be fine.

IMO its a good idea to get a aftermarket fuel pump.

the injectors can flow more than stock

sowhat about the fuel pump, it can flow for stock injectors, but a high flow fuel pump is what you wanna get

you want equal flow from both injectors and fuel pump.

not just high flow from the injectors

I guess it would be fine as long as you drive like a grandma. I'm not 100% sure about this tho.

if your on a basemap it will be fine to drive off boost. just don't build boost.
