Default is 7lbs ok for stock

i think for once i may be getting closer to putting the turbo on. my wastegate has a 7lb spring in it. is this gonna be ok for stock 5.3? i plan on 42lb injectors and probably pump up grade. other than that all stock. well, a 2bar map also. don't have alot of money to play with so i have to get the bare essentials. will be intercooled. after this i'll be saving to go to the 80e. still trying to find out if it will work or not with my odd ball transfer case.

so watcha think?

cool, does my little list sound about like the bare essentials? where does the stock pump let off at? i had all this stuff in the silverado then it burnt, i think that pisses me off more than anything.

I would get an upgraded fuel pump to be safe and you should be fine at 7 psi.
