300E Turbo question

How much boost do you think the stock fuel injection will tolerate before needing additional fueling/controllers?

It's not worth the cost of boosting if you're not going to address the required fuel enrichment.

Stock CIS-E or HFM may be able to handle about 4PSI boost.
You can add a mechanical adjustable rising rate fuel pressure regulator.
It would be better then nothing but still not provide a consistent fuel MAP.
Power is made with consistency of all components in any boosted engine.

The concern is the stock fuel map under boost.
If the stock MAP doesn't enrich quick enough under full throttle even at low boost you may damage your internals.

Thanks for the reply. What is the best way for the extra enrichment? Or should the stock EFI be chucked in favor of another system?
