Yeah the tune is the big thing, I'll definitely be going conservative.

It says on their website but I think it's about 1.5.

I'll be running low boost (5 psi) with my high compression. I already have 275cc injectors, fpr, bored-out fuel rail. Do I have to get different injectors for such low boost? If yes where can I get them? Thanks.

11.0:1, lol, I know it's high. I will have a good tune. And I won't go over 5 psi. What kind of injectors are you guys using???

Yeah you need to drop that compression down to at least 10:1. 11.0:1 with a turbo on this motor is just suicide.

1) Can I use WRX injectors? Which year?
2) Are there any other head gaskets available besides rpw?

Only RPW makes decompression gaskets. For injectors you can use the pink WRX injectors but I don't know what year those are or anything other than they are pink.
