this is what you want then to meet your goals or you can go a bit smaller with a 42/48

7 psi? 42/48 is mint. I run one and its good for street use build boost early and is smooth.

i run a td04L (13g i think) from wrx...it's been good so far, quick on the street, instant boost, and pulls, but doesn't pull as strongly in the top end.

making the switch to t3 .48/.60 soon.

Isn't stock boost on a 14b 9psi? Can you set that lower?
