Removing the rats nest W/ PFC

i dont have a PFC yet, but i am getting one to run my single turbo setup. I still have that big mess of wires with sensors still plugged into them underneather my intake. It looks like crap, and they were left there becuase i got the car with the stock ECU, so it needed those sensors to be there. WHen i i get the PFC, i can cut them all out and have no problems? Will you just have to program the PFC for single turbo and eliminate the twin turbo sensors?
One more PFC question, if i have a WB02 in my car, i can load up a map that is meant for the mods that i have and i should be able to tune from that map from the readings of the WB02 with the commander no problem, right? I wouldnt really need to go to the dyno then, would i? or need a datalogit? The only reason i would dyno my car is to find my max torque at X RPM, because i read that, that is the most prone time for detonation. Therefor i would retard the timing around that area and then bring it back up a little afterwards. make sense? thanks to all that help me out.

Yes, you can remove all of those solenoids as long as you plug the unused open tubes on the UIM. Much of that stuff is emissions related, so I take it your ditching the cats too?

If you cut the wires remember to cover the exposed wire ends with liquid electrical tape. 3 coats or more...

Tune the car for an 11:1AF on the dyno. It really sounds like you don't have enough experience to tune, so I'm just going to say Good luck. Better to be safe then sorry.

Cant be too hard to tune a damn car. Ive tuned many hondas with VAFCs and A/f gauges. With the rx7 and WBo2 with PFC, ill load up a map, look for the 11.1 AFR as im hitting on the throttle, if it starts to go lean, i let off the gas and bump up the fuel for that RPM, then get on it again and keep do the same thing till i get the perfect AFR across the whole RPM range under WOT. if thats not proper tuning, then i dont know WTF is up.

You'll be fine. I didn't mean my RE: to come accross as an attack...

Instead of using the just the PIM vs: RPM you might want to use the PIM vs: Voltage too. This adjusts at boost sensor voltages or roughly at the desired boost level.

That way you don't throw your off boost cruising cells way rich...
