Default Whats needed for 5psi?

Just wondering if the stock fuel system on an 01 Ws6 will be sufficient to run 5psi of boost? OR is it more of a safety precaution to run bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump at this boost level?

I would upgrade the injectors and pump to be sure. Really depends on if you have other mods as well.

Only other mods to the car are lid, catback, shocks, springs etc etc. No cam or headers or anything like that.

Im not trying to reach any magic number or times. Just want a fun street car.

A car I tuned not long ago (had g5x1 cam on a 112 LSA and headers) made 495rwhp with a P1sc at 5psi on pump and meth. It would only do about 450 without meth before it wanted to knock. Knock is GONE on the meth and timing is up. A turbo, in theory, when properly matched will make more at the same level. No, your stock fuel system cannot keep up with that. If it goes lean up top, you trash your engine.

Isn't this like your 50th thread asking the same thing?
