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.

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...

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.

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