if i plan on runnning a 14b turbo at 6 to 10 psi will i need to upgrade my exhaust more. i have already upgraded to 2 1'4". or will that be fine for low boost like that.

That's still a bit restrictive, but it's not a huge concern with low boost. You should still upgrade to 3" and that should get you a few more HP too.

exhaust is not that important next to upgrading your fuel and internals. you can run about 6 psi on stock internals or so i've heard, but unless you upgrade your fuel by adding a 5th fuel injector or FMU, you will lean out at full boost. a lean running engine doesnt last long, so when your engine blows because of detonation, your exhaust piping will be the least of your worries :p

good luck, btw

i have a fuel pressure regulator but i am going to need upgraded fuel injectors right?? what would be right for this application? i want something that will just plug in with no modification or very little. and i need a fuel pump too right? which types are good? and would i need a intercooler if i am running low boost? and last but not least, lol what kinda of power do you think i will get out of this 14b turbo?? probally running 6-10 pounds??
