Default What way to control ECU for boost?

If I make a custom twin turbo setup for a 98C5 what is the best way to control the fuel and ignition? Do I have to go complete stand alone system? My plan is to run 5-8psi of boost. I really only want about 450-500rwhp. I am not sure if I plan to do internal mods as of yet. I may do a cam, valve springs, open up the cyl head chamber for lower compression and maybe run a thicker head gasket for lower compression also. That is an option I may look at. I was just wondering if there is a way to use LS1edit or HPtuners with a two bar map sensor that would work well. Or is there some other way that has been proven that I can not just find? I would assume that it is not just done with massive rising rate fuel pressure regulator like in the old days.

Also- what size injectors are usually used for this amount of boost?

Thanks for all the help,
Troy

I don't see why you should go turbo for only 450-500RWHP. A good Head/Cam package for less cost would put you on target.

I have had turbo cars before and have the need for the turbo setup. I just love the feel and sound of turbos. I have the boost bug. I also want the possibililty to get 600rwhp if I want to.
