Before the SAFC, where you using check valves? Also are you using the stock clutch?

Looks Aruban. They love to turbo Tercels and Starlets here, run em with Microtech stand alone. We have some pretty fast one's running 10's there's even a daily driver running 9's http://videos.streetfire.net/video/O...t-a_124298.htm Check it out!! This dude Orlando, drives to the track, changes 2 slicks and than races.He's one of the most respected tuners here

i made a Lowe's special, PVC vacuum manifold with 3 fish tank check valves on it, the computer doesn't hit fuel cut, & it works very well

the computer hits fuel cut at around 5psi, we added one check valve, that got us to 5.5, then added 2 more for a little extra security once we turn the boost up over 6.5 once i install his intercooler, which just came in today...its seckseh

she's intercooled now, as of saturday night, so i cranked the boost controller in like 6 turns, but a nasty exhaust leak developed at the sinktrap to manifold connection...preventing full boost & killing repsonse, tried to fix it sunday but it lasted 2 pulls, one hit just over 9psi, the other 8, & its now back to a lazy 7psi

looks like i got to yank the manifold & try a few ideas out that i have in mind

One more question, have you changed the routing of the pcv valve?

redesign the flange connection...sort of...i have a few ideas, that should work fine, but it involves removing the damn manifold again
