if you're afraid that means you don't have a plan b in place or the means to fix the ****ups.. and you're just hoping everything works out

well.. as conservative of a boost level as that is, **** still goes wrong. sell it. if you're not confident now how confident are you going to feel when it's installed?

HAHAHHAHA
The kit will be the INITIAL Cost you have you will also need:
Clutch/Flywheel
Wide Band
Boost Controller
Boost Gauge
Injectors
Fuel pump
Standalone Haltech or Uprev? sure Tune: I would go with Dynosty <--I have to go there this year..
And
Recommended:
Beater.. My Z is is summer toy I have a truck all year round..
Turbo timer
Plenum Spacer
Fuel Return
Optima Battery
Suspension
Tires
Kill switch so no one steals yer ride.
6psi doesn't matter I am running 7 psi and putting down about 440 at the wheel.
You can have a shitty tune and still blow up your motor at 5psi...

GL man going to FI isn't a day in the shop it's a journey...
PS what's your emissions out there like? CEL=fail, no tags?

Boost on a DD is financial suicide. May happen soon, may happen later. It will happen though, you will need to rebuild or spend money on going back to stock.

If you have to ask, you're not ready.

Well, I friend of mine who is a member on here has a turbonetics Z. I believe he had around 25k miles at 8-10 psi before it lost a cylinder. Last time I saw it he said it was running but smoking horribly. His compression numbers were 130ish on 5 cylinders and 40 psi on one cylinder.
