Default Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt

For the past like 2 weeks I've been working my *** off trying to get my car done for the track. Well it didn't make it to the track for some stupid reasons, but the install is done. The car has been fighting this the whole way, its been problem after problem, and some long days/nights.. the car still isn't running because Megasquirt isn't getting a tach signal for some reason but other than that, its almost ready to go.

The motor will probably go sooner or later, but i am working on building a new motor for my senior project

Setup
98 Chevy Cavalier 2200 (non-eco) pushrod motor
Megasquirt v2.2
.42/.48 50 trim turbo
Nissan BOV that is exactly like a 1g
JRC FMIC
Racing Solution and LSD charge piping
t-bolt clamps
6 couplers
Stealthmode Special edition nig nog oil lines 1 of 2
30 lb/hr ford red tops
ebay catch can
SS autoshit external wastegate
7psi spring
Log manifold
open down pipe and dump tube

Onto the pictures

+1 for using the megasquirt goodness instead of a RRFPR like me

Pin 10 on my ECM gives a tach signal and used that before when i had the car running N/A on MS.. just actually found out that i am getting a signal all the way to MS through the harness but my fuel pump still only primes and i still don't get a tach signal in megatune..

the wastegate won't get f'd up because its going to the exhaust shop as soon as i can get it started and drivable
