Default ZPI stage 0 - FM options

Considering a stage 0 and the question of fuel management has been lingering over me for awhile. I never hear people upping the boost on a stage 0 and I'm wondering why that is? Only looking to go up to 270 or so I figure 8psi is in the ballpark.

Question is if I were to buy Greddy's option 1(Emanage, 440cc injectors, clips, harness) would that work for what I'm attempting to run and is tuning something that would take care of this?

I'm basically just trying to get a reliable stage 0 putting out more power. Be nice to the nub!

well, do u plan on buying the kit used or do you have it already? ZPI is no longer in business so you cant get one new anymore. Id stick with something like Dezod or Turbo Toyota's kit as either are the most reliable that your gonna get. Boosting without fuel management or an intercooler is bad news

People dont up STage 0's because they probably dont have:
An intercooler
Injectors
Money for a tune
Fuel Managment

Boosting without a management or intercooler isn't that bad.

Stage 0 is very reliable.

its bad...trust me. You might not think so now but give it another 20,000 miles and when 2 out of the 4 piston rings are cracked and you start losing compression...Running N/A timing on a F/I vehicle isnt the best thing to do for long term reliability

Well my stage 0 pulled timing when I had it. It usually was between 0 to 3 degrees BTDC. It pulled less timing when the wastegate was not open but boost comes on so fast the wastegate was almost always open and I tried to avoid part throttle boost.

A friend of mine has a stage 0 going on a year and 7 months now. No problems, compression is perfect across the board. Examined the rods twice 0 damage.
