should do mate but youl need to get at least a nistune ecu to run bigger injectors and that much boost.

im running the same gear as you with stock ecu and stock injectors and on 12 psi its fine no pinging or anything

From what ive heard, na injectors and na ecu are fine to run with turbo. Just dont add more boost.
