You have a 15* unless someone changed it... You really will want at least a 17* HPOP to run those efficiently...

You will want e-fuel, intercooler, turbo, studs, pushrods, springs, HPOP, and some custom tunes.

You could run them fine, just on your higher HP tunes your HP will drop off as the ICP pressures drop.

Make sure you have Gauges, Pyro, Boost, Tranny and if you can a Fuel pressure gauge.

But James is right, a 17* pump would be better.

I think you're thinking of Terminator Engineering...

I would skip the "modded" pump and go with a SRP-1 or an Adrenaline, something that has been shown to improve HPO pressures.

But a stock 17* pump will run some stock hybrids without issue.

So a stock 17° pump will run those injectors and be ok with stock turbo

You will push the stock turbo. Keep it under about 30-32# boost and you will be fine.

Stock turbo is going to hate you... I don't see it lasting long... Depends on how you drive.
