Your gonna need bigger injectors than 50s if your running 14psi off the wastegate.
Go with 60s or jump straight to 80s and be done , close to same price and much more headroom.

Hope the bottom end is forged ? 15 psi should be good for 650 plus at the wheels.

As Johnv recommended just get the 80's and you'll be done with them. They will tune just as easy as the 50's would. And in that same price range. Make sure to get high impedance if stock computer. Will fry computer if you get low impedance ones without the converter to do it.

FWIW I'd go with a Precision 7875 over the TC78. The 68mm turbine wheel isn't a great match for our cubes. It will still make good power of course.
