Thanks for all the positive feedback fellas! right now I'm only boostin 6psi and just installed my mbc yesterday. Gonna turn it up, do some fine tuning and hit the dyno. I can say for now at a measly 6psi it pulls way harder than my JRSc at 10psi wahoo!!
As for the paint ROFL at that pic. Great idea! j/k. Yes I would LOVE to get her repainted as I have outgrown it. Hmmm cost of repaint or turbo project...yeah, I think I chose wisely. Its really not that bad you either love it or hate it. Mind you it was done 9 years ago in my buddies garage. I used to compete in IASCA and USAC sound competitions so the paint just set my car apart from the rest. Back then at 20yrs old it was "cool" hah. Heres an old pic so you can get a better idea of how the Scallop paint scheme lays out. Gotta love those tri-stars yeah baby hahaha!!

u should paint ur front rim black to... so it can match the affect 
i really like ur setup tho... jus be careful with the rubber hose going to your wastegate... wouldn't want that thing to melt right next to ur turbo and see ur boost spike to max =x

yep normal when letting off the gas. It will eventualy go to a full lean of 45 
. I never really even got to go into full boost as the roads were very wet and traction was tough. I was even shifting early. First gear nothing but wheel spin so naturaly second sort of bogged then started to break loose and I shifted at 5500rpm into 3rd before letting off. If you notice at the end there I was changing lanes, slowing down getting ready to corner again. Thats the reason for the lean. Overall that was just a base tune and was a tad on the lean side across the board. mid high 12-13's going INTO boost and around 12.0-12.5 at full boost (when the roads are dry). I havent even tuned it yet.
