Are std TPI fuel rails & reg good enough for turbos

Hi, Im Twin Turboing my '91 350 TPI engine and have everything about ready. Im going to run Bosch 42lb (450cc) green top injectors and a Bosch 044 pump at the standard 3 bar.

The 044 will do 325LPH at 3 Bar and the #42s at 100% duty would require 216LPH so i reckon I have safety margin there.

Will the stock TPI fuel rails and regulator hack the #42s ok at 80%+ duty (ie say 185LPH) ?


Thanks in advance.

-Andy
