Question Injectors and turbo

This may be stupid but I need to know asap. I know that the scion tC comes with 370cc injectors. I know that at some point I will probably want to upgrade them. But if I get my turbo set up and only boost on 4 psi for a couple months can I use stock injectors for that time? I have been doing research and am looking for a straight up answer. If i recall correctly...and I am hesitant to say this, but didn't the stage 0 kits have no upgraded fuel delivery? Anyways correct me if I am wrong. But someone please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!!
thank you all!

Tc comes with 320cc for starters.

Boosting without fuel upgrades = motor go bye bye. Not worth the risk.

I would NOT recommend this. The ZPI stage 0 was designed to work with the stock injectors but you can not just run anything at 6 PSI (or 4) and expect it to work. I would build the fuel system first and then add the turbo later.

okay so I will upgrade inj to 440cc and then what piggy would you recommend. I am looking into the unichip and the camcon. I like the ultimate but very $ and cant find a good deal with the fic. Is there another one i am missing out on? I know there is the blue, but heard thats not all it hyped up to be.

Yep, Stage 0 had minimal additions for boost and was setup that way to run on the stockers. You can't throw anything on it and expect it to work the same just because you limit the boost.

Could it work at 4psi? Possibly, but who would want to take that gamble. $200 dollars for a set of used injectors in the Classifieds is a lot cheaper than $800-1400 dollars for a new motor just because you wanted to buy injectors later. No need to rush it bro, just surf the classifieds, people are always selling turbo parts.
