The 2.5FPR will help you keep a decent idle if you're having problems with yours right now. It'll also ensure you aren't running more fuel at idle when you don't need to be. The 30Lb injectors like all have said will give you about 35-40% more fuel and that's what you'll need at the 20 psi levels. I I have just as much feul and I don't have problems, I even think I don't have enough. No big deal. The next thing you'll want to do is ge the JT 3" downpipe. That will help you keep the boost closer to 20 for a little longer amount of time. So for me hitting 20 psi is easy like I said and that's at 70F, even higher when it's cooler outside. While it would back off to about 16 psi without the pipe, with the JT installed it'll stay up near 18 psi easily. It's worth the extra money and effort to ensure that when seeing 20+ psi regularly, you won't have increased backpressure that 1. YOU DON'T WANT, and 2.YOU DON'T NEED, and 3. WILL CAUSE INCREASED EXHAUST GAS TEMPS. The upgrade is really worth it. A bigger benefit as well is that for me when I installed it, I noticed right away that I got 2+ more psi on the top end and I also sustained boost longer as I said. I bought the whole system, but others report seeing great improvement with just the downpipe. Also to make sure you're able to hold more boost it's also critical to make sure your plugs are GOOD/NEW and properly set up. If you want to keep more of that high boost, get the downpipe. If you think the turbo is loud already, just wait til you install this thing, you'll really hear the roar that it makes..
See Ya,
Phil
