Shiv, the best chance you have at having some "quiet time" tuning it would be if you showed up early on the Friday of the SMART seminar and tinkered with it then on Chris and Alfred's dyno.

Here is the plan...for now...if the dyno day ends up being the 23rd/24th I'd drop my car off a week early at TT (16th or 17th). Since I'm getting a bunch of new stuff installed, TT can give my car the once over (check for boost leaks, maybe crush my JDM MR BOV with those 27 psi spikes, etc.) Then I would pick up the next weekend (30th).
Shiv, of course you can use my car as a learning tool. No problemo. I'll actually be up in San Fran next weekend (the 4th), but I won't have any parts on. It's all getting done over the next couple of weeks (thanks for the injectors Smoggie
).
New clutch and headstuds go on this week compliments of RRE. WR should be here tomorrow (some kind of train delay, so says UPS). And so on...
Anyway, regardless if I'm there or not, it's going to be a blast. Tom, I'll PM you my number if you or Shiv need to contact me.

I have read that its good for maybe 23, but nothing above that. You might have to do a thread search to find out because that BOV might compromise your entire tune...

Zeus was right on the money about the oil return line gaskets. I tore mine at the oil pan and had to make a new one with gasket material, not the optimal fix but one that works. You should absolutely get the studs, nuts, and those gaskets. Some folks get the little crush washers too, I reused mine. I still contend that re-using the stock manifold to turbo and turbo to O2 housing gaskets are probably better than the ones that are included in the kits. Just my opinion.

Besides, this car will be more than enough for me to handle. I need to learn how to drive it better next. That's where all my future mod money will be going. That, and tires and brakepads
^^^^On 91 octane you are going to hit 22 to 23 PSI, but it will taper down. However, on 100 octane you will easily see 26 to 28 PSI because I am currently hitting that kind of boost with my stock turbo w/ a 10.5 hotside...
I would have just invested my money on either a greddy type s or a forge BOV. Anyways, its your money that your spending on the tune, whether boost holds or not...
