I was thinking of having a shop install my s-afc and maybe even my gauges just to make life easier and make sure its all done correctly.

Do a search with my user name, and S-AFC as the subject- LOTS will come up.
I had problems too...
I describe how to fix them as it did for my car.
The grounding of the ECU harness, and then the AFM and pressure sensor together doesn't take long at all.
Also firewall to engine.

Maybe 1 hour at most.
It fixed all my problems with it.

Your lo throttle should be about 98, and hi should be 99

Check your throttle sensor. You might want to ground it too.
As long as it's smooth- with no flat spots, it should be fine.

I had to disconnect my o2 sensor... it ran a little rough under closed loop.

I bet it runs OK if you lean it out by about 20-30%...
Just ground your sensors- then it'll run fine- it's getting a bad signal.
