Default Can I run my car with what I got???

So I have been piecing together a kit for my tc as fast as my budget will let me and getting impatient during the process, My ? is, can I bolt up what I have and run it on the street???

What I got so far.....

-manifold
-turbo/feed + return lines
-external wastegate
-charge pipes/BOV/intercooler
-vacuum block
-255 walbro fuel pump/NO INJECTORS YET
-EM greddy E.ultimate/ with pressure sensor

I know doing this wouldn't be the greatest idea because I have no AF wide ban gauge for better tuning, no boost controller I'll be running off the wastegate witch is 7-10pound, no boost gauge, and would have to run my stock fuel system tell I can get the bigger injectors, Also would need to have a GREAT base tune for the E.ultimate. would love to experiment but it's my only car at the moment, so for the car to get done right, i'm willing to wait.

Let me know what you all think.

Lol I'm not even gonna answer this. This is a question that needs common sense. Actually I'll be nice.
Put everything on and don't hit boost! Well what's the point of putting it on if you can't hit boost. I say put it on and don't pass 5psi. But then again your risking your motor. You decide!!!

5psi sounds ok with what you have. get either a smaller spring, or injectors.

5 psi is NOT ok, the only thing thats ok is 0 psi...


believe me i have tried this over n over again the 16g and a 45 trims t3 turbo are the only things that can run 5 psi untunned on stock injectors...


if ur gonna run stock injectors with ll that installed u will need to stay out of boost trust me

Honestly I wouldn't do it. Just wait till you have everything. Boost is not something you want to rush. That's when things go wrong.

Just wait till you have all the pieces to your kit before you go boosted.

What's better?

Waiting for a replacement motor when you melt down this one, then waiting for the rest of your parts

or

Waiting for the rest of your parts
