I just wanted to know what your fuel setup is. I want to see all the possibilities to tune this thing.
I'm probably going to get:
255lph FP(already have) SAFC-II pocketlogger
Now, do I NEED larger injectors to run around 17-18psi?(with the 450cc's) I see alot say to get 660's for 20+psi(I have 93 octane). Which I want to get to later, but what are the stockers good for?
DSMLink kind of intimidates me, and cost would cost me quite a bit more.

you will need to port the turbo, especially on the exhaust side and get a 34mm flapper for it unless you want to see boost creep I had to port my evo3 twice and then call road race for the wastegate upgrade. i use 680's, safcI, datalogger, and MAFT ramcharger to get mine tuned. 450's are too small for the higher psi range (18+). good luck.

I run 18-19 psi. I creep to 21 sometimes. Fuel keeps up no problem so I didn't bother porting. If I end up doing any porting, it will be just to flow more, not to try to eliminate the boost creep. If the creeping bothers you turn the boost down and let it creep to what you'd have it set at in the 1st place.

Yes you NEED larger injectors.
I sure wish people would read the forum more often. I think the idea of having all the correct supporting mods BEFORE upgrading the turbo is said at least once a day.

That's all, just a S-AFC to tune it?
And yes Jeff, I did read, note that I said I read most go with 660's. 550's are good for ~22psi, possibly a little more according to RRE. I wasn't asking what supporting mods I will need, I just wanted to know what the stockers were good for and what everybody used to tune.
And for the supporting mods:
ported Evo exhaust mani ported Evo o2 housing 3" turbo back fmic w/short piping rewired 255lph fp and maybe a GM maf w/ maft
I read 660's are pretty much the end of the line for the S-AFC, is that right?

S-AFC and pocketlogger.

You dont really need the evo exhaust manifold, and the evo 02 housing wont line up correctly with your downpipe. How much is a ported evo 02 housing going to cost you? you could just go with a 2.5 tubular o2 housing from 122performance which will line up perfectly and probably cost less. As for getting a 34mm flapper, FP(forced performance) will disagree. They wont put a 34mm flapper on that turbo saying that a properly ported turbine side/wastegate passage is enough. I know DSMLink is alot, but you should really save up for it, its worth it.

Yeah, I wasn't planning on get the 34mm flapper. I was at first awhile ago until I heard that it's hard to hold high boost. But I was reading about this one with ported everything, 3" exhaust(with a "high flow" cat) creeping pretty bad and he had to tear it all apart again and install the bigger flapper. But I'm not going to get unless I absolutely have to.
As for the mods, they're not set in stone as it will still take me awhile to get everything. I'll probably just end up porting the stock mani(if I can find an evo mani for cheaper than doing that, I'll probably go with the evo). And I'll look into that 122performance housing.

I haven't experienced any problems with the 34mm flapper, it seems to work even better under high boost, mine sticks right at 19psi. If you end up buying the MAFT, it is a decent tuning tool as well, but wont beat a pocketlogger

You have a pretty close mod list to what I want. Have you ever taken it to the track? How's traction?
