Little help

Wondering if there is a difference in fuel pressure when you add the Ats turbo kit to a 7.3idi? I'm trying to figure out if the injector lines need to be higher pressure rated or not. Thanks

welcome. as already said, you are fine with the stock lines. turning up the fuel delivery after adding a turbo does not increase pressure, just fuel volume.

To explain further: the IP produces fuel at between 1400 and 1800 PSI. The pressure depends on when the injector spring is overcome and the injector opens; adding more fuel just keeps the injector open longer but will not increase the pressure.

If you are worried about the extra pressure from the boost(as you might when running a carburettor and turbo on a gas engine), you don't have to worry because the injector pressure is so much higher; it won't make any difference.
