New guy needing some confomation...

Well I just got my '88 Turbo II on Sunday from a member of this board (thanks Mark!) and I was able to pass smog today! hah anyway, The car came with the first version of the APEXi S-AFC and the AVC-R first gen. I will be wiring these up this week/weekend. It also came with the Greddy Power Extreme cat back which I am looking to sell as I am getting a custom 3" into 2.5" dual exhaust done this week. Also on the car is a fuel cut defender and the Bonez intake. I should be getting the Tein HE suspension sometime next week.

Whew. With that out of the way...I am seeking conformation on how much boost I should run. From my research I should be safe running 10psi as long as I tune it well with the S-AFC (I would also like some help with what settings to run when it comes time). I havnt heard many people talk about fuel pressure regulators on here. Is this a common or good fuel mod? or is a walbro 255 pump good enough? Also, from what I understand I should have at least the fuel pump if not injectors as well. Thanks alot guys!

Well, last night I installed the intake since I passed smog I can start the mods heh. That made quite a difference in sound and feel. The car actually idles now...a little rough but alot better. But then again I was able to track down a vacuum leak and duct tape up the hole in the intake tube at the same time.

Anyway, I should be able to get all the wiring done tonight allowing me to up the boost. Any ideas on what I should run? I was thinking I would just go for 8psi, but would 10 be safe? Oh ya and advise on how to tune the S-AFC would be great. Thanks guys!
