the stock fuel system can handle NO boost, it's barely adequate for driving daily. if you don't know how to install a megasquirt or a standalone, you're going to be in a world of hurt when it comes to tuning. NO ONE supports the 96 ecm. so, your options are as mentioned before, megasquirt, standalone, or repinning the entire harness for a computer swap to either use HPTuners, or swapping to a 95 computer and burning your own PROMs.

yes the stock fuel system can run on up to 6 lbs im only gonna run 3 lbs of boost

Why don't you just get a really long straw, attach it to the intake and blow really hard.... They will have the same effect... I also disagree with your expectations of the stock fuel system....

run? yes. be able to be driven further than say, out of the driveway? no.

the money and time involved in turbocharging a vehicle is hardly worth doing for only 3 psi.
