Next summer i go on the dyno to tune it at 9 or 10 psi.
Before you go to the dyno, make sure you modify your PCV valve or you might damage your rings. Just putting a breather filter on the valve cover is not good enough.

This is what I did to mine: I took out the PCV valve and use a hacksaw to cutoff about a millimeter of the PCV valve and then shake out the spring inside. Insert the modified PCV valve back into the manifold. Run a piece of vacuum hose from the modified PCV valve to an inline cylindrical gas filter (my version of a catch-can) then to the inlet side of the turbo.

With this modification your engine will breathe better and you will notice/feel a little more power.

yep, as soon as you get used to it, you'll want more. as for the shop that blew up your car, i'd take a brick or piece of ceramic from a spark plug and break the mechanice car window! ---- that fool, they didn't care and didn't mind blowing your engine up, they didn't know what they where doing. anyways, good job on doing everything yourself and it looks real good, and clean.
