Just watch the boost gauge and you should be fine. If you're looking to really get on it though, you may want to upgrade your secondary injectors, and fuel pump.

Unless you've ported the wastegate you will not be able to keep boost to safe level. You should also upgrade the fuel pump.

Yeah Its Got The Fuel Cut Thing In It. My Stock Boost Gauge Would Hit 40mmhg When It Worked. What Is That The Equivelant To? Im Thinking Of Just Getting A Bigger Fuel Pump And And Leaving It At That. Sound Good? How Many Horses To The Wheels Should I Expect To See Roughly

Your stock boost gauge will no longer be accurate with the FCD.

Firstly, a clamping FCD (which the Rtek is IIRC) does not affect the accuracy of the stock gauge. It simply prevents it from reading any higher than the top of the scale, which wouldn't tell you anything anyway. Secondly, an aftermarket boost gauge should be fitted long before a FCD, so it doesn't matter anyway.

rotarydelight, stop messing with your car until you have a proper boost gauge. Adding all those mods of yours without knowing how much boost you're running is extremely risky and just asking for a dead engine.
