I read through a lot of the stickies and a few threads but cant find these particular answers
Can you run a low boost say wastegate pressure about 7lbs on a stock ecu with no piggyback unit? Will doing so compromise your motors reliability? If the answers were there in the stickies and I missed them I apologize, but it seems they just said its recommended but never said it could or couldn't be done without one if I read it correctly. I'm not looking for tons of power just a little bit more then what i got. I'm about to have my 5sfe fully overhauled and I am considering putting a turbo charger but I want to keep the cost down. I know if I had the piggyback i could get a lot more the 7lbs on stock internals but the piggyback and hooking it up and tuning it is the part I can't afford the rest can be bought and installed rather cheaply (sub 500) and i can always add the piggyback later when I have more disposable income. --------------------  |

^^^ yes there is more work involved. you need a 3S-GTE oil pan or modify yours for the oil return. you need to modify your exhaust. and get colder plugs. BKR7ES are a good plug.
