it varies. They are anywhere between 4 and 6 psi.

dont drive it without a fuel system. you will just break it.

you will go "ok, ill drive it but wont go into boost".
then you will drive it, and it will accidentally hit 1 psi.
"wow, that felt good. But it didnt feel like it was breaking my motor. Maybe my car is special and i dont need a fuel system"
So you keep driving it, making 3-4 psi.
"man, my turbo runs good. But whats all that white smoke behind me and why is my car always overheating? Whats this white stuff that sprayed all over the engine bay?"

Several people have done it. It is just plain STUPID to even think about driving it without a fuel system.

The fuel system (especially the SF fuel system) is THE EASIEST part of the entire install. So if you can install the bolt on ****, then you can install the fuel system.

not quite that much

i run 8-10 daily.........i have hit 12-13 a few times and it was great.

Anyways, turboengnr is right, don't drive your car without a fuel system. You can disconnect the wastegate actuator rod and run 0 boost.

it still matters. It can make boost before that. Dont think that 3000 rpm is the magic number.

Why cant you install the fuel system yourself?

well i can but i need help with the relay that comes with the newere(all silver) sf fmu....
i know you attach the nipple to a t fitting on the vacuum line, and cut the fuel line in the middle...the one attached to the firewall goes to the in, the one still attached to the fuel rail goes on the out. but then theres the wire that goes to the fuel pump, is that connected to the fmu?(theres place for 2 wires at the end of the fmu, im guessing one is the wire from the relay, and one goes to ground?)
anyways i really need some info if you got any
