Default need a little feedback on boost

I was checking to see what is a good boost setting for my T3 it has a .63 intake and .60 exhaust i don't wanna risk blowing my engine. Im going to be putting it on my 2.8 v6 im putting new injectors (probly 21lbs or higher) and a adj fuel regulator as well with a few of my own mods i made in machine shop. Right now im making my own 2.5 exhaust with my custom co2 injection system (reduce turbo lag) if you guys could could help i would greatly be indebited

BTW:kick *** site

A good boost setting as in what? Is the engine built up?
The turbo can probably support more boost than your engine can even handle.. So I would start off with something small (whatever your wastegate is set at) and start from their. I wouldnt go directly to its maxium efficency.

yes the engine is already built and the turbo can go up to 25 psi but i wanna keep it around 7 to 12 so i can drive it daily and worried if it will this screw up my engine or is it good

When tuning any engine with just about any setup, its best to start off with a "Moderate" boost level.. Like I said start off with something low.. 6-7psi, or maybe even higher in your case. Then tune, with a A/F or WB 02 or even on a Dyno when increasing boost. The turbo itself is more than efficent to run 12psi..

Just curious, is that 2.8l v6 the same engine GM uses in their Blazers and S10's?

It may be jeff it was created by pontiac and pontiac is a part of GM so it could be. It is a standard 60 degree v-6 HO 2.8L
