Default Twin turbo help

Im bout to buy a twin turbo kit and was wondering a few things about it. For one im going to start off with about 10 pounds of boost so what pound injectors do yall think i should get or should i keep the original 19 pounds. This is a budget project so i cant do anything to big. My car is speed density do i NEED to change to MAF. Kits says ECU upgrade neccesary what upgrades need to be made i have a guy that is a wizz with computers so doing it aint no prob. This is a street/strip car that has to be driven 150 miles to the track i like racing at so has to be a good cruiser. One kit said i needed a boost timer what is that and what does it do. Anything that im missing that yall think is a problem i might run into while installing the kit or anyhting you want to add PLEASE DO. I know the post sounds a lil demandin and shi*t just havin to type fast. Appreciate all the help yall offer wish i would have found this site months ago when i bought my car. This is the kit i plan on getting.

turbomustangs.com is the place for you. Do some searches, there's lots of info, and smart ****'s who love to help.

You're probably gonna need to run a blow or draw through MAF system. And I'd go with 42lb injectors. Nothing smaller than 36 IMO.

why would it be a wast of time. I mean im not looking for a big fancy turbo right now just looking to get started and this kit comes with everythingminus the stuff i said before. Once i get the knowledge and kit put it and see how the stock turbos run im just gonna get some second hand turbos off a GN a budy of mine owns. Do yall know something that i dont about the kit. Everybody says "oh no dont do that" but nobody tells me why or what else to do.
