Re: new to boost
You don't need bigger injectors, persay. However, I do highly recommend them. I'd upgrade the fuel pump and fuel injectors, will yield you more power as well, since the tuner has more room to work with. You can use any 38mm wastegate, with the designated spring in it.

Here's how you pick a blow off valve: determine if you would like a recirculated one or not, and then buy it.
If you don't know if you need bigger injectors or not, you should probably do more research, because most likely then you have no considered fuel pumps, how you are controlling the fuel (AFPR? standalone?) and other important items.

and also upgrade your pcv system to an endyne or something like that. when your creating positive pressure into your intake manifold you're also inducing positive pressure in the crankcase. Alot of people forget to do this modification and it deteriorates the engine life dramatically. For about 6-9 psi i would go with injectors, fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and really good tune.
