Just got my Boost Controller in the mail today! I got a sweet deal, it was used in a Charged Mustang for 4000km, i got the thing for 190 shipped to my door. And it looks brand new. Just have to keep you eyes open i guess

Thanks for the link, but there is no pictures, these things need to be archived so the pics show, cause without, there sorta useless.

^^^ Thanks man,
So i recived my AEM wideband today! yay thanks Stubble88!
So im curious i have a EGT and a AEM wideband, where should the EGT be located for best reading, in the mid-pipe, or the downpipe?
Also do i need a 02 sensor ( i have stock DP still) cause if not, i think the wideband would plumb right into the stock bung would it not? looks like it to me.
Also, im not going to get a water gauge cause my PFC would do the trick, is that safe to assume?

Your EGT should go in the down pipe up close to the turbo
you dont need the O2 sensor, you can turn off the O2 feedback in the PFC if you choose. I have my wideband in the stock O2 sensor location of my downpipe just like you are asking.
You indeed can use your PFC commander to read your water temps, thats what I do and have no aftermarket water gauge

Thanks for the swift reply Tom, appreciate it. Glad to know my wideband o2 will drop into the existing o2. i have another question though...
If i were to put my EGT as close as possible to the DP that would make my life much easier, would this be ok? since my wideband is right far up the DP, the EGT will just be another fail safe. But will my reading be much off if its only a foot further down?

Since you are measuring the exhaust gas temperature you should get it as close to the source as possible, so really you would want it in the manifold. The further away the cooler the temps are. Think about it this way, by the time the exhaust is out the back you can put your hand over it and wont get burned, cant be more than 150 degrees or so. Rotaries can easily put out pretty high exhaust temps, lets say about 1000 degrees at idle. If it has cooled 850 degrees in the length of your exhaust (10 feet or so?) do you really want to put it 2 or 3 feet down in your mid pipe?

Update!
Ok, i got the engine, and just started putting it back together. hopefully by Sunday ill be driving it!
Ok im out again, need to put the damn rats nest on! So i just figured out yesterday im running in parallel, when i bought the car i guess it was running in parallel. Any Solenoids i don't need to hook up? i think i will hook them up anyways, but i just want to know. Also Vac lines? like the ones to the Actuator i wont hook up, but any others? This may simplify my install of the rats nest.

Well we filled her all up with fluids, got oil Pressure, and cranked away, and she wouldn't start. Just kept cranking. We check Fuel, it has Fuel, but we think it may not have spark. I bought a New Coil harness, we installed that, but thats all. New Plugs, new wires. Were going to test tomorrow if it has any power to the Plus, Wires, harness and coils.
Just curious if you guys have any suggestions as to what to try, or what to look for. I cant see the new coil harness being faulty. But, any insight would be appreciated! Thanks guys!

Hey, you're not the only one with those problems 
Check to see if you're getting fuel. It could be flooded, it doesn't take much.
If you're not.....however.......
Your primary injectors may have stuck shut after sitting with no fuel in them. Both of mine were. I fixed that, unfortunately it's not the end of my troubles.
