You think it will be a problem? I was looking at that as well, I am not sure if they make any fittings that are angled that will screw into my turbo, but i will defidently look into it. The fitting that came with the kit was straight do i had no choice and plus I would bend the line significantly if I were to put it under the manifold and I would be worried that it would break with the straight fitting I currently have.

Thats what I am debating to myself right now, whether fork out $200+ and have it dyno tuned or $300 for a wideband. The only problem is that I do not know how to tune at all.

go with a wideband, i know its more money but its worth it. Its really easy to tune the A/F ratio with a wideband and s-afc, all u need is a laptop to record the wideband readings and then change ur safc settings accordingly. My friend is running pretty much the same set up (different turbo though) at 10 PSI, Safc for the fuel manegmnt. He's A/F is 11-12 all the way accross.

my autometer boost gauge reads 1.5psi when the car is off too. Always was a little strange, but now that the motors built... i dont give a ---- if its off when the car is on too.
