The stock clutch can hold up til somewhere under 350hp.

As for how much boost you can get out of the stock injectors... that's a loaded question. Assuming you mean with a stock turbocharger, you can probably run about 15psi max boost at redline with stock injectors. Of course you can run more if you modify the fuel system with a return line and a boost compensating fuel pressure regulator.

These cars are not as easy to tinker with as the old turbo stuff.

It does sound like a good deal you got on the car. The only worries are that it you don't know what modifications are/were on the car and how badly it has been abused.

i got a chance to look at the box full of stuff there is an after market down pipe and the stock air box nothin to amazing. i got the story of the car the car was bought in california by a guy in the army brought it back here got sent over seas and doesnt want to pay for it while hes gone i also got the chance to drive the car and really take a good look at it and have found nothing wrong with this vehicle it was well taken care of and stored for the winter so it has never seen the snow it is in perfect running condition and im going to enjoy driving this car

I don't know if I would consider $14k a steal; more like the going rate. I bought my 04 new in may of 05 for around $17k with a sunroof.

first what kind of hp can the stock clutch hold.

it will hold a stage 3 car without issue... ofcourse the more you abuse it/ the more power you're pushin' , the faster it will wear


second what kind of boost can i get out of the stock injectors.

the injectors are designed to support up to stage 1, and some bolt ons which is about 240hp-260hp range or so (i think). anything beyond that and you're begging for a lean condition and a new motor.
