REALLY n00b? WTF?! hahahah
just messin' man...
i would personally go with ford green tops (~440cc) or some ~460cc racetronix or accel injectors. That way, most fuel maps will already be set up for that size injector.
may i ask what you plan for fuel tuning? AEM FIC is what I would recommend, not only for ease; but since a lot of people use it and already have maps ready to go..

not going to hit 250, says who? your experience and extensive knowledge of boosting and tuning tiburons?
depends on the turbo, but you can probably get very close to 250, if not surpass it with the right turbo @ 10lbs.
i don't recall anywhere of the thought of not using any 'real' tuning mixed with what he has right now, if not, then yeah, no 250 for you, much less a real fun car to drive..
JonGTR hit ~300 @ 14-15lbs of boost..

I dont know why no one asked this before but what size turbo are you running ? Are you a v6 or a 4banger? What are your other mods ? Once those questions are answered then you can determine power range and fuel needs. @ 6psi I was making 231whp on an auto 4 speed with 310cc injectors and a stock fuel pump with a 60-1 turbo. Your going to need something closer to 400cc if you want to make 3xx to the wheels and that pump is good for your needs. Good luck, be safe, and have fun boosting !

1) Assess the condition of your current motor by doing a compression AND leak down test.
2) If 1) is ok then do A LOT of research before jumping into forced induction
3) Be REALISTIC with your goals AND BUDGET!! Why do you need "250 horses" and can you afford everything that goes with it. See 2)
4) Understand by using 2) and 3) that a turbo system is NOT and bolt on and go affair. You will need things like a new stronger clutch, and freer flowing exhaust system and possibly motor mounts in addition to the turbo system components. You would know this using 2)
5) Budget at least 3-500 USD for Dyno Tuning to get a decent Tune. If you don't do this you WILL regret it.
