Power Upgrades
Well, I got most of this stuff awhile back, and just now got around to putting it on.
LC-1 Wideband
MSD Boost Controller (thanks Titus)
255Walbro (thanks Titus)
JR Injector Controller (Titus for the win again)
MBC (Juxtor this time)
Defi A/f Gauge
Defi Boost Gauge
Soon to be installed(by soon, I mean next weekend):
Magnecore 8.5 wires
NGK Plugs
New PCV Valve
Turbo Tony 2.5" DP
BEGi 2025 AFPR
Parts in trunk awaiting other parts:
FM GFB BOV
FMIC is in the works as well.
So much for the "sleeper" status. I got the A-pod mount for the gauges, and after the FMIC everyone is gonna know!!!
I am considering 8psi now, since most of the upgrades were from the JRSC Big Boost Upgrade Kit which runs 8psi.
Dyno time soon.
WOW...I am an engine builder now!!! SWEET. Does that mean I can't have my buddies do all the work on my car anymore?
And a big THANKS goes to Chris B. for doing the awesome LATE NIGHT install. We didn't get done till 1:30am! Oh, and to Bob S. (Wheels America) for the shop space and other items that made all this possible. And for those that were there when Evilspeeder did the motor swap, that was the same place for all the work on my car.

Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).
Congrats!
OK...part 2 of upgrade complete, except no Begi AFPR yet.
Had to do a "home depot" MBC (using vaccuum, which, um, doesn't work well at all) and was seeing 8psi using it. Cool right? Nope. Got the DP and 2.5" glasspack plus turndown installed, and let Bob drive it. I haven't gotten a chance to drive it yet, but he has been wanting to drive it, so he got first flog. Comes back after short drive and says, "Man, this thing is FAST. Pulls like a beast at 5k." I was thinking that was awesome, get in and start to drive home.
First light and what is next to me....a yellow CRX with exhaust. First victim, EVEN SWEETER! I baby it out till 4k in 1st, then I put the hammer down! HOLY CRAP! Pulls like a banshee! Going for 2d while stealing a glance at the CRX 5 cars back, and, OH FUX, a damn FMIC the size of Montana!!! Then I miss 2d. Get it in and mash the go-pedal. The CRX is closing in! I glance at the boost guage....15psi!@!!!@#!@#$ Shut it down. CRX goes flying by. My buddy was behind the CRX in his VW and said he stomped it right after I did, and he even redlined 1st and 2d trying to haul me in.
When I got home I hooked back up the wastegate hose and am sitting pretty at 6psi. Which, surprisingly, pulls freaking hard now. DP and exhaust (wires/plugs, but like those do much) made it like putting the turbo kit on all over again.

If folks want to find a deserted 4-lane road in the middle of nowhere, with no traffic around, to see how fast their car will go, be my guest. (That's probably how that avatar was created, If I had to wager a guess.)
Street racing is whole different ballgame...
