Default What do I need?

Alright guys, I am thinking of getting a Procharger. First, I don't need get a radix or turbo. I am currently looking at a procharger kit that is used, but has a rebuilt head unit. It is the d1sc kit with the 2 core intercooler. The only upgrade, mod to kit, that I am aware of is the bosche BOV.

What would be NEEDED to run this kit? I would assume I would need a fuel pump and some gauges. As far as gauges, what would I need besides a boost and fuel pressure gauge? Any suggestions as to what pump and which particular gauges?

I know an upgraded intercooler would be ideal, but hopefully not needed for everyday driving. If I do a new intercooler I would want to mount it in the same place as the procharger unit, behind the valance. I also know that a tune with 42lbs injectors would be good. If I went to the 42lb injectors, would fuel mileage sufer or is it the same as using a large fuel pump where it is able to supply the fuel, but doesn't always do so. Where can I get these injectors? Is it something that comes stock on a vehicle or should some of the sponsors carry them? Sorry for all the questions and I am sure I will think of some more.

I would go with a inline fuel pump,a set of 42lb injectors and a custom tune.That sounds like a lot,but that's cheaper than a new longblock when you cook a piston.

I have the in-line booster pump that I am not using.
Also for injectors, the guy who had my kit used 36's but I have 42's. You could probably do a low boost with stock injectors. The regular kit is intended for stock injectors and psi, but with a FMU. You would probably end up with 8.1 marine injectors or from ASM. Fuel mileage wouldnt suffer until you are in it really.

So if the stock pulley and the fmu is used all I would need is a pump right?

The truck injectors are different than what, camaro and corvette injectors?
