what up.... jus get a fuel pressure regulator...u really dont need anything else if ur gonna stay @ that low of boost... if u have the money go ahead and buy injectors and a apexi safc ...and you'll be straight mabey throw a walbro fuel pump in to...believe me 5lbs of boost is gonna get old fast and ur gonna want more...hahaha so if you have the money get what i suggested

Do not listen to this guy. You will have a most unreliable POS. Anyone that posts "hahaha" in a post and tells you to use a SAFC tends to not know what they are talking about.

Go research in the Forced Induction forum and find out what everyone else is running. The stock regulator and map sensor should be left alone. Get bigger injectors, Walbro and get an ECU and a good tune.

So i should just leave the map n regulator alone get a fuel pump injectors and tune my ecu than? Keep in mind im only going to boost around 5 lbs

Always get it tuned. On a dyno if you can or street tuned if you have to but get it tuned. And you keep saying 5lbs. 5 lbs on what? 5lbs on one turbo is not the same as 5lbs on another.

Again. Checked the FI forum. I'm sure you aren't the only person on the planet running a boosted LS.

^ X2. That apexi setup alone will cost more than if you just got a chipped p28 from phearable and get it tuned by a pro.

doesnt matter if your running low boost you always should get it tuned so it runs right and is more reliable...

So get it tuned cool but its a stock ls n im running a pr4 and its a t3/4 turbo

And you shouldn't have to worry about a map sensor yet. Stock map sensor, correct me if I'm wrong, is a 1 bar which means it can record up to 10.9 pounds of boost.

Correct.

This.

1 bar equals 14.7 psi, but you are correct that the stock map sensor can read up to 10.9 psi
