Actually that T3/T04 will be plenty, depending on the a/r's of the housings and compressor wheel trim, and should spool very quick. Do you know if it's a T04E or T04B compressor? And also which trim it is? I have a bunch of specs for different turbos, so if you let me know the dimensions, I could tell you how much power it's good for.

You really won't need to change the ignition at all at 10psi, so if you wanted you could wait 'til later to upgrade to the MSD DIS2 with boost retard, or you could do it now and get it over with, it's all up to you. Just get some good plugs like Denso Iridiums and make sure you get at least 1 step colder than stock.

For fuel you have a few options. You could use larger injectors to replace the stockers and then use HPTuners to idle and run them. Then change the MAP voltage to use a 2 BAR MAP and kind of trick the PCM into seeing boost. This way is sort of like the GM supercharger reflash.

You could also use 4 extra injectors in addition to leaving the stockers in place. You would get aluminum injector holders and weld them individually into each runner of the HO manifold, pop in the injectors and top them off with a fuel rail. Then split the stock fuel line with a Y or T fitting and run the extra end to the extra fuel rail. You'll also need an injector controller like the SDS EIC (http://www.sdsefi.com/eic.html). It works independantly of everything and fires the extra injectors when boost hits. While not in boost, the engine runs perfectly stock on the stock fuel system.

Then there's using a piggyback fuel computer like the Apexi SAFC unit to idle and run larger injectors, along with the BEGI adjustable FMU to add fuel while in boost. If you choose this route, make sure you get a high pressure fuel pump, since the FMU raises the pressure considerably.
