Default Brand new to boost today

So today i will be finishing putting my ZPI stage 0 kit on my car...i will be running with stock injectors and no e-manage for now but will be getting an AEM fic and somthing like 550 injectors in the future and a HKS ssqv bov. Dont have any pictures right now becasue the care is at my friends house but i figured id introduce myself.

congrats on the pre-running boost. Although it's not going to be ideal to be racing with, should at least buy a cheap management like E-manage to work with.

i got an apexi safc that i got when i bought a t25 turbo and thought i could make a custom kit with that but ill probly through that on in the next week or 2. but yeah ill keep you guys posted on how it runs....my friends were making fun of me because when we got it on and took it out for a drive the car was so slow and would keep stalling but it turned out that the coupler on the throttle body blew off but i put it back on (tighter) and took them for a ride and they were all just saying wow lol than i raced an s2000 and was able to keep up with it untill 80mph.

grats on the boost...even though peeps are messing with you to race just dont do it, they dont have to pay the bill if something goes wrong. keep that in mind. take it easy and get used to your gauge readings.

right. i would get a wideband first. i hope you didnt cook anything i bet your AFRs were incredibly lean. if not you might as well look down at your feet and choose which one you'd want to shoot yourself in.

if it was doing a lot of sputtering and back firing i guess that would be a good sign of being rich

lol i couldnt tell my friend is a mechanic that was the first thing he noticed was that it was running rich but like i said it isnt anymore it is defently running lean now.... it ran rich for a total of like 5 minutes and the more i think about it, it was probly because my charge pipe was loose.
