Rep Power: 296 ^ummm id have to go with no. Turn you're boost down to like 2psi to be safe untill you can get some fuel management. Bigger injectors wont do too much, because you're pump will still send the same amount of fuel as stock. Since we have a returnless system the pump only sends the fuel needed to run, and not extra that can come back to the tank when not used.
Most of this is speculation from what ive read on the boards, but bottom line is dont boost without proper fuel management.

Rep Power: 275 now that everyone is getting the hang of the emanage. it seems to be the way to go. It's about the same price as the SAFC and it has alot more options and it's alot more precise

Rep Power: 0 i have the same set up and you can push it
but go easy from time to time
your ECU will ocmpentsate for the fuel from running lean
(this is my personal experience andi dont know your setup but with the little boost we are running the MAP shouldn't see the boost and your wastedgate..if internal.., should kick in by then. I haen't had any problems so far and running untuned until i can finish at least the downpipe and then the exhaust)

Rep Power: 0 correcto!!
i never go full throttle. I ease into boost and when the turbo is fully spooled the car just pull it's self. The majority of the time im only half throttle and i still pull when messing around with people.
The AFC will do it but it hasn't been tuned. I went today but they said i should redo/ complete the downpipe so the readings when tuning would be more accurate instead of spending the money to tuned now and end up having to come back like week or two later to get it redone.
