Build questions

Rebuilding my 89 Turbo. Here is what I have and have done

Fresh rebuild with Atkins rebuild kit
Medium street port using Pineapple Racing's templates
Stock turbo
ported wastegate
Blocked off emissions other than BAC
Home Depot ABS TID
Knightsport FCD
Corksport Radiator
3" downpipe and presilencer from Racing Beat (still looking for rest of exhaust)
Old school Trust FMIC allowing A/C and Power steering retained
Supra Turbo Fuel Pump
Innovate LC-1 with XD16 wideband
Defi Boost gauge
banzai racing oil pan brace
Racing Beat oil pan baffle plate
Modified Oil Control Regulator to ~85psi

That is all I can think of right off hand. I plan on getting an aftermaket ECU and turbo but that has to wait till I have a little more funds again.

I am considering getting injector dynamics 725cc injectors and run them for secondaries, but I am uncertain if I can do this on the stock ecu. This build is going to be a daily driver and weekend autocross car. Eventually I hope to have around 350HP and I figured I would move the 725cc to primaries and get larger secondaries after I get the ECU. The other option is to have my stock 550 injectors cleaned and run them.

I put the FCD in because of the increase in boost due to exhaust and ported the wastegate to try and keep the spikes down.

I can't get a real ecu for 3-6 months still, I was considering getting an S-AFC, 720cc secondaries, and having the 550cc primaries cleaned. Would that work for a slight increase in boost until I can get a real ecu? I was also looking at the Greddy Profec B spec 2. Will that help keep the boost where it should be or is it only good for increasing boost?

I don't need to increase boost yet, just trying to make it reliable to drive until I get the upgrades to allow the increase. The other purchase I have been considering making is an ignition amplifier, but I am not certain how important this is at this stage.

I forgot to mention the other idea to the afc was to get an rtek 1.8 and use it until I get a different ecu.
