newbie looking for help on 1983 280zx turbo build

hey all, would really appreciate a little help. I have a friend with an 83' 280 turbo, and he wants to make it a little faster, not a dyno queen. It's just kind of a daily driver/weekend cruiser and he just wants to have a little more fun with it....it has about 166k miles on it, runs good etc......if you need any info, please ask, as i really want to help him get this going.

Just turn up the boost to about 10psi. Stock injectors start to lean out after that.

DONT NEED TO INTERCOOL WHEN TURNING BOOST UP TO 10PSI?? EVERY OTHER PLACE THAT I HAVE READ UP ON THIS SAYS YOU PRETTY MUCH NEED TO INTERCOOL THE SYSTEM......JUST DONT WANT TO CAUSE HIM ANY PROBLEMS
