Finally, thanks to all of you that helped especially jookmasta and nistech, my started up and ran beautifully. I finally found my problem that I was having a while back. My MAF ground was having a voltage drop of more than 0.02 volts on my ground wire so I wired both up to have 0.00 volts. After that my car started up, idled right and I guess ran good as soon as I can get the wheels to stop spinning lol. I had one minor problem though, it will stall when I throw it in neutral and the rpm comes down, if I keep my foot on the pedal for a couple of seconds then it will idle, not during shifts though. I think a safc will take care of that, but dont know for sure though. Anyways, I couldnt drive it far because of having no exhuast, just downpipe, but around the block was great. Turbo starts spooling at 2200 and hit full boost at 3300.

It is hard to say how fast it is right now because the turbo pulls hard at 2200 then I get no traction at 3300. Pulls harder than a GSR swap in a civic hatch sqeezing 100 shot of nitrous direct port for those of you guys that know. And at 3300 the wheels just spin and spin (with a big smile on my face), shifting to third will spin it more until I hit about 65 mph. I loved it. One problem though, hehehe, I think I didnt put my BOV soft enough and blew my head. Getting it fixed right now though but cant wait till it goes back in. If someone can show me how to post up pics I will, in the meantime sorry no pics.

congrats. as for ur stalling problem, i had the exact same thing until about a week ago. i finally mustered up the energy to set the decel settings and it took away that issue. it took about a whole two minutes. lol. nonetheless, the decel settings will solve that issue about 95% of the time. It will sometimes due that to me if i come out of boost and drop str8 to neutral but i think ive only done that once or twice.

Anyway, congrats again and get ur piping done so u can go go go, legally that is.
