Don't risk it when your stock clutch goes the car is not reliably driveable. I lost my clutch at a red light and it was a big pain getting it to my friends to install it.

Well I did it but not for under $2000, just over that though around $2100 or so. At the moment only running 5psi untuned using the split second enricher and my afr's are pretty good 14.7 at idle and 11.8-12.5 in wot. Not sure how much hp I'm making but I guesstimate around 230-240, all this would have not been possible if it were not for ScionFred thanks a bunch

Crazy 2 1/2" downpipe to clear thermostat housing. Thinking about getting 2 more t3 flanges, welding the flanges to each end of a 3" pipe to lower the turbo passed the thermostat housing. Then 3" pipe all the way back, but this will do for the power that I'm making now

That's a lot safer. Too rich but not rich enough to cause any serious problems.

I'm sure! I still plan on getting an ems and going with a speed density map sensor getting a real tune and putting down some real numbers.
