Well, you didn't exactly do a MPFI conversion, just picking on you.

NEW SETUP
well... i ditched that gay *** intercooler, and threw on a blow off valve I had sitting around from a turbo mazda...
I like the setup better this way... I clocked the turbo now I'm boosting at 10psi (on stock injectors
), so tomorrow I'll head down and get a carb spring...

10psi on stock injectors is good for like 2 days before you blow it up due to running VERY lean.
you dont even have an FMU to raise fuel pressure... stock fuel pressure with stock injectors running boost code for 240cc injectors with uberdata? i didnt know there was boost code for stock injectors...

haha... nah... it stopped smoking for some reason (maybe because the turbo hadn't been used in a couple of years
). I get uptight boosting 10-11psi on my intercooled civic w/ 345cc injectors, no way I would run my car like that. As soon as I saw it was boosting at 10pounds, I parked it... I'm going to get a carb spring today. Even if I were using bigger injectors, I wouldn't boost 10psi due to the fact that there's no intercooler.
