Default Stock b16 going turbo

I have stock b16 with about 125,xxx miles. I recently bought a turbo from my friend. It's t/3 t4oe 50 trim. it has tial wastegate, some kind of bov, all the charge pipes, oil lines, turbo xs intercooler, Blox manifold, and 2.5" downpipe.. it came with an FMU but i am not trying to use that..I also have the walboro 255 fuel pump. I was wondering if i should use some dsm 450 injectors and get it tuned on chrome? or should i go RC injectors and use a different tune? my basic concern is that i am making this car my daily driver and i want to make it reliable.

If you want it to be reliable, don't boost it too hard on stock internals.

get a leak down test and compression test, if they check out it should be fine for your dd. either way you go with injectors get it tuned, crome is definitely work using.

Make sure your valve lash is correct and do the comp./leak down tests.

7psi doesn't mean jack with out the turbo trim.

A smaller turbo on 7psi should be fine for your DD.
