You prolly could get away with it as long as you run low boost.

As for the tuning either read up a lot on it before hand and wait to install the parts and find someone that will show you some things or pay him or what ever, or save some money and take it to a qualified tuner.

If i was you then i would wait on installing the turbo kit and save for a quality fuel system and read up a lot on tuning and go buy/order some tuning books and after you think you have a handle on how things go start attempting to tune yourself and post your log sheet in the piggy back section and see what some of the other guys have to say.

But people are not going to want to help you tune your car over the internet from sctrach. Its can get pretty complex and the more you know and know how to fine tune the more power your going to make.

I read that stock 440 injectors are capable of i think 350hp max, maybe a little. Given you are running stock fuel system (pump, fpr, afm, injectors) you will need to run low boost for sure or i believe you will hit fuel cut.

+10000 on reading up on how to tune prior to install. Btw what dm kit are you getting? the upgraded ct, or the 60-1 with mani and such? Any ic upgrades? without the supporting mods you are better off to save money until you can get everything you need plus paying someone to tune for you.

Really no point in turbo upgrade if you cant run more than stock psi imo. i would go with the injectors pump and afm first. and tune around that.

I would have to agree there. Plus if money is an issue right now you would be better off buying larger injectors, fp, and fpr first when funds are available. Also if you have the car tuned with the stock injectors you will have to do it all over again once you purchase larger ones. Which means more money, if you have someone else tune it. In my opinion you should leave it to a professional to tune your car. I think that it is good for someone to learn how to tune there own car but do you want to take that chance of you making a really expensive mistake. I certainly wouldn't.
