5 or 6 psi on a stage 0 is smooth. You should do the intercooler and changer the injectors then have dozed tune you on atleast 8psi or 10psi.

in fact i think you should first get at least the injctors and then install everything or if you have another car to drive around dont drive the tc 'till the injectors go it and proper tune.

Dunno if Im allowed to post this here, but I thought it might help - I have some 410cc injectors for sale for $120 shipped to your door, they'd work great with the FIC and a stage 0 setup - I ran them on a T3/T4 50 trim at 7-8 psi - i was between 75-85% duty cycle at 240whp on my auto - im sure theyd do great for a stage 0 setup on an auto

I give my customers 2months regardless of free tuning after the first initial tune. once they pay for one tune they have 2months to gather up all the upgrades they can stand and get their cars to me within that time frame.
