i got it running at 17bs,i have a boost gauge and mixture gauge for lean and rich,i aso have an afc 11,aong with a stage 3 chip,i have them tuned together but i wonder woud i be better off just running the chip and taking out the afc,and the turbos are factory so i'm pretty sure the bearings are pastic

manual (5spd) the engine probably has less than 10,000 miles on it,runs strong but i need to step up to a stage 3 clutch because itslips away when i ****** 3rd then catches.but i may need to get it re- tuned because it was at a garage getting the water pump put in and someone messed with the settings i think i got them back to the proper settings but i'm not 100% sure,it was dynod at 326hp but said they couldn't get a proper reading because of the clutch.but the answer to it's performance i would say 85-90% performance wise

keep the afc in the car so you can ajust your fuel. and what type of wideband do you have cause if its one of those crappy autometer ones that tap off your stock o2 sensors those are not accurate for ****. whats your air fuel ratio at when your under full boost you should be around 11.2-11.5 for it to be somewhat perfect if your lower then that your running to rich and if your higher then that drop the boost asap cause its running too lean under boost and can cause damage to your motor. and like i said if there stock turbos i would not run any higher then 16psi cause if you detonate or boost spike say goodbye too your turbos.
