Auto To Manual Finished, Afterthoughts and Problems

So I finished my swap last night and was estatic to fire my car up and my mystery CEL's were gone. No CEL's what so ever.

Car drives good, the power in first in unbeliveable compared to an auto. That combined with frozen asphalt roads = assy, assy, assy...

Something I learned, take your time the first time, I put the clutch in backwards and knew it the first time I fired it up Tuesday night. I just sighed and went home to bed. Wednesday night I was able to drop the tranny and turn the clutch around and get everything back together in 3 hours. I have gotten good at swapping trannies.

Okay, now the downfalls so far.

I did the turbo sequential simplification at the same time which meant by-by emissions, that coupled with a GeForce ECU makes the car run rich as hell.

It backfired and tossed fireballs every once in awhile before, now its a common occurance. I can only assume this is from running a pig rich ecu and having all the emmisions removed.

She also idles like a rough bastard, I think if I bump it up a few 100 rpms it will smooth out to a point, at least good enough till I get a PFC stuffed in her (My funds are a tad low after this project).

She runs rough as hell, and I mean rough until she warms up. I struggle through 1st and 2nd gear, she just dosen't want to go. I assume its because of how cold it is right now.

Boost control is off the board, I dialed my MBC all the way back and she is still wanting to push past 14.5 psi and I just want it to run 12 or 13... Once again, could this be due to the cold weather?

I lost cruise control. Not sure, but would this be due to the fact I wired the inhibitor switch straight across? Any suggestions?

Any ideas or suggestions people could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle
