first...i plan on using a big 16g or a 14b...prob a 14b cause i can get more power out of it, but heres where i run into some problems...the 420a can only withstand 8psi..and even 9 is pushing it, yet both the 16g and the 14b run 10 or more psi stock...could i use a boost controller to turn down the psi or would I have to mod the internal wastgate in the turbo to open up at 8psi instead of 10...if I do have to do this is it an easy and cheap task?...or is there any other way around this that I have thought of or researched yet

secondly...I was gonna use 450cc gsx injectors for my kit, but I was told by my mechanic that those will not work...what kinds of injectors is everyone else running for there 420at cars?..oh and whats this fmu i keep reading about, and that i apparently need..I'm still very confused about it, from what I read it's like a fuel pressure regulator or something like that...can someone clear the air for me on this questions...thanks very much

As for injectors, if your not going to be tuning with a piggy back/standalone system, you won't need the bigger injectors yet. But if you still want them you will have to use SFMU

If your not going to be using bigger injectors you can get away with using a vortech FMU with a 12:1 fuel to boost pressure ratio.

But here is a useful sorce when it comes to designing a fuel system for our cars.

Your going to want to bookmark that page, but if you lose it you can find in at 2gnt.com along with answers to your first question.
