Re: quick turbo question

You can put 6psi on nearly anything, and with lower compression it can stand more. Worst case you need bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, different MAP sensor for boost, boost reference fuel pressure regulator, and a proper tune. Wideband AFR sensor/gauge would be a good idea also, but not required.

Re: quick turbo question

I'd think the stock MAP sensor only reads up to atmospheric pressure, making it a 1 bar sensor. You'd need a MAP to be 2 bar for 15psi max boost, 3 bar for 30psi max b oost, and so on. The stock fuel pressure regulator may work since it should have a manifold pressure line going to it that will also give it boost. If nobody can tell you it'll work, you could try putting some psi to the regulator and see if fuel pressure rises at least 1:1. If you put 10psi to the regulator hopefully fuel pressure rises at least 10psi. You could probably make do without a proper FPR and MAP sensor if you only use a few psi of boost and tune it knowing that the computer/system will be skewed in areas of boost.
