k so i got an 86' fox body with a 306 all aftermarket roller/rocker arms, rods, pistons, F303 cam, Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, 24lb injectors, Trick Flow upper/lower intake, larger throttle body 75mm, c&l 76mm maf, 190Lph fuel pump, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. ive been looking at various turbo kits and im not quite sure what one would be good for a moderate hp but still very well a daily driver. if anyone has some tips id like to know. thanks

Im no expert at this but, I think you are going to need more fuel. You could up the pressure but, I would think 24's & a 150 pump is going to be to small. I would get a wide band O2 sensor so you can keep an eye on AFR. boosted cars need to be richer at WOT. between 11.5 to 12.5

I agree with 90stang5speed, you'll need a 255lph fuel pump and at least 42lbs injectors (36lbs will get you by). I don't see you out growing 42lbs on a stock block. A fuel pressure regulator with a boost reference and a blow through maf. Also, don’t skimp on a good tune and a wideband (LC-1 or AEM).

Check out On3 Performance, B&G, and Ponydown for some decent priced kits. Good Luck!
