how to run 18lbs of boost
could anyone tell me how could i run 14-18lbs of boost without running to lean? How much fuel pressure would i need in order to run that much boost? And does anyone have a front mount intercooler for a 89 turbo 2? and a full 3in exhuast system?

For starters, you'll need a fuel pump. Maybe new injectors and an SAFC or another fuel controller helps depending how much boost you want to run.

Something I learned a long time ago about people who want to run lots of boost it that they generally only want this for bragging rights.
Boost does not correlate to power. 18psi on a stock turbo will result in less power than a well-sorted T04 or similar on 10psi, plus it'll probably be dead in a week.
You don't modifiy an engine with a boost target in mind. You start with a power target and find a turbo that'll make that power using the least boost possible and still be suitable for the driving you do.
