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

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.
