IMHO, I think it would be tough to reach 350 rwhp w/ stock ports, unported wastegate and a restrictor in the exhaust. Maybe if you get an excellent tune, but the base map wont help out any either.
With my setup (sig) I plan on reaching 350 rwhp or very close on no more than 14-14.5 psi.

Brian, get an efini y-pipe
Question...if you're running about 12psi max, how necessary is the y-pipe? Does it expand and contract, or is it just a safety measure so you don't have to replace a cracked one in the future?

I run 12psi and the rubber gasket on my y-pipe cracked so I was only getting 7psi. The series 7/8 part is better because it doesn't use a gasket and is all metal, reliability mainly. Also it might flow a bit better because I think the bend is less restrictive. It is on the hotside of the intercooler but I don't think the plastic expands or contracts enough to create an issue for anything other than reliability.

I guess I have to ask, "why?". Your car is sweet, already makes some good reliable HP.
When is enough, enough?

if your going to be pushing your car to its near max capacity w/ the stock ports, wastegate, fuel system, reliability is going to drastically decrease. Especially with a 350 rwhp goal.
If you don't want the engine to "go", think about settling for 300-320 rwhp.
I know, it seems lame next to these 450 rwhp single turbo monster cars you see on these forums, but I would imagine you would be satisfied with the power without sacrificing any more reliability than you have to.

Should be porting the wastegate either Tuesday or Friday. I am going to try and pull the turbos tomorrow.
PFC/midpipe come on Wednesday, so if I have the wastegate ported then I'll add the midpipe, if not I guess it's sitting in the garage until it's done.
fuel pump and injectors (do I need to get new primary and secondary?) are going to be next then whenever Steve comes to the area I'll do a tune by him, but in the mean time, I can just run base map on the PFC right?

You can buy new injectors or you can ship out your current ones to be rebuilt for higher flow, or tested if you want to keep the primaries at the current (550cc) flow rate (ensure that they're working properly) I wouldn't run a midpipe on the PFC base map, it'd probably be lean.

go here to get the mod map and you'll be close on tuning
check out my sig., I had these mods plus a SMIC on the mod map and afr was safe - with a little of my own street tuning
with these mods I was close to 350rwhp and only running 13.5psi

HardHitter,
Are you looking for around 350rwhp? If so, not too many cars make it there on stock ports using the stock twins and the stock fuel system. With the stock fuel system, you can get there on 15 PSI (which you can do on the stock fuel system, and its been proven) but you need a ported engine to do so. Without a ported engine, you'll most likely need to run higher boost, therefor requiring more fuel. I believe you can get close to that number at 15 PSI. Heck, maybe with some Steve Kan magic dust, you can get there but at 15 PSI but its not likely without engine porting.

(i.e. charge temps, ignition, etc.) < right on! people dont realize how important intake temps are especially with something that heats the air up like the stock twins do.

350 on stock twins and stock mtor is a peice of cake. just get more fuel, a midpipe, and a tune for 15 psi.

The "base mod" map on that site is the default PFC map. Several of the other maps on that site would blow your motor if loaded as is. They are dangerous and unsuitable for use, which is why they are no longer linked in the PFC forum.

I was under the impression that the PFC came with the stock map unless specified otherwise - mine did
and why would the other maps blow your motor if you had similar mods? are the files corrupted and have false numbers? please explain as I have used them as references for my own tuning

Most of the maps on that site have huge negative splits, some even under boost! Several of those maps were tuned at XS on Power Excel software, meaning that you cannot use the fuel maps (XS modified the base map to hide their mapping on the corrections map).
