Boosting above stock levels....
Ok, I have read the stock fuel isn't capable of handling much above 230hp? or so? I read this, not confirmed..PLEASE correct me if Im wrong
Im going to be upping the boost to 10psi for the time being, just waiting for my Boost Controler and A/F gauge to arrive.
With 10psi, exhaust (turbo back), intake, boost controller, should I be fine with stock injectors? Im trying to make sure I do everything correct, if it was a normal car (4cyl) I wouldn't be askin n00b questions like this But since it's a engine Im only kinda familiar with, but don't know anyone personally who's done mods on a T2 (I live in alaska), I can't ask around.
So.....any suggestions about it? or things I should look into to make sure the car is happy?
Thanks in advance...

There is a little button at the top right of the page, it says "search". Try using that first.
As long as I am typing... Stock injectors are good for one thing - a stock car. As you really start upping the boost, you will need more fuel, or else you are gonna be running lean. At least rewire your fuel pump to insure that it is always recieving the maximum current it can, but upgrading your fuel pump to a Walbro 255 liter/hour would be ideal. For what you are doing (no more than 10psi) the stock injectors should be ok.
