DSM link
comp/HKS 264/272 combo. Dunno which brand to go with yet...lots of decisions.
comp/HKS came gear
650 cc Injectors (do I need bigger?)

I'm looking to achieve about 350-370 WHP on a FWD laser. What kind of goals can i obtain on 91 octane. What kind of HP on 94. Yatta.

Let's say i put this setup at 19-20 psi and boost it fully atleast 4-5 times a week. What kind of problems will I see and what mileage? These are ruff estimates. I am planning on running a little slop room for my pistons so they don't seize. I know this kills longevity....but how bad. TYIA. Any info whatsoever with personal experiences is appreciated.
 
Looks like a good setup to last a while. For your goals you will not make 350whp on pump gas with a 16g turbo. 650's would be fine, but since you're running a maft and teh dsmlink you might as well go to 720's just for a little extra room to tune with. The bigger injectors won't affect anything once they're tuned right. As long as you don't beat the sh1t outa your car it should last as long as you can take care of it.
 
Im not looking to drag the car for now. On this rebuild im planning on going for an autocross/daily driver. I'm afraid anyhitng bigger will be harder to spool up.
