never enough power

i have a gt2876, and i am only running 8# with stock tuning and injectors for now.  i bought mine with the opt. .86 a/r turbine outlet.  it doesnt lag bad at all, by 2200 rpm i am at 8 psi.  i recommend that when you change your turbo, you add a BOV.  if you dont you wont be able to keep the charge pipe or vacuum manifold on your throttle body.  as far as the dp bolts, use a half moon wrench, it will help.  and also when i did the swap i drilled and tapped the turbine housing for my o2 sensor.  try to post pics of the finished product.  if you take the plenum off it makes the swap much easier.
