Headstud questions
I am probably going to put some studs in soon. I was wondering what kind of boost can I run with the factory turb and some tuning from Matt? Also, What kind of ower can be made with the stock injectors? Is the Ultra Comp tune from Matt about the limit or is there more to be discovered with the studs? Thanks

Its not the boost thats gonna hurt ya, its the cylinder pressure. from what I understand from matt the 3 ways to get more power (and cylinder pressure) are timing, fueling, and turbo air..timing being the worst. There can be more discovered with the ultra comp but your gonna need to address other issues first, like fueling( fass system and a return regulated system) and like you said cylinder pressure(studs).

However, if your wanting to run more aggressive tunes you are going to have to address fueling(rather it be with an aftermarket fuel pump and/or injectors) and then of course you'll have to deal with the air part of the equation. It's never ending, but I would get it out of your system all at once(if funds and desire willing) as that would be the cheapest if you plan to do those mods, even though it might not feel that way at first.

I am wondering what the stock turbo can make and is it beneficial without an aftermarket fuel system. I don't plan on buying a boost fooler or anything, I would just have Matt write me a custom tune. Is there enough fuel supplied with the factory system to support that much boost?

I'm using the FASS 150/180 which is for extreme modification, they do have others that supplement the factory pump. If you think you'll eventually go bigger on the injectors then go ahead and get the bigger one, if you think you'll stay where you are then get the ones that help out the factory pump.
