If i understand you, i've dropped all your money into modifications...have you done any reliability modifications? Here's a short list of what I'd do:

All coolant hoses (replace clamps too)
vacuum hoses
fuel filter
downpipe (if you don't have one)
ast (same as above)
boost/water temp gauges
aluminum radiator.

your Fuel pulsation dampener (FPD) has been well know to be the leading cause of engine fire because it malfunctions. This can be eliminated or just replaced. www.banzairacing.net has "do it yourself instructions" on how to eliminate this if you're a handy man.

I have almost the same mods except I have a Pettit intake, (waiting on ASP medium intercooler, intectors and fuel pump will be my next mod) and I wanted to know how much boost do you see at WOT and if you have had the car on the track or at a dyno? I put the FC in and noticed that my boost is now 11 then 10 when second turbo kicks in. Before I installed the FC I was seeing 12 then 11.
