Fuel Pressure
What fuel pressure are you guys running? Please list your setup with pressure. (Injectors**, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel rail, turbo, boost, power ect.)
I have an idea of what I want to run but just curious to see what's common or normal.
Updated ;-) Thanks Joe

I didn't see you mention the most important variable, which is injector size.
Replacing the fuel pump and filter is good preventative maintenance on a 15-20 year old car, but aside from that, you shouldn't need to upgrade anything else at reasonable power levels. On my last car (1.6) I was using stock lines, rail, FPR, etc, with a TD04H-15G turbo at 14 PSI making 210 WHP. This was with a set of 440cc-rated injectors, and I had a fair bit of headroom left- duty cycle never went much above 70%.

I think ID's like to run a bit higher then stock fuel pressure. Looking around on their site it seems at about 70psi that the ID1000's should top out at about 1100cc.
One day when I have time to convince Tim to build me a dual feed fuel rail I will switch over to an AFPR and raise my pressure up from the stock levels.
