you HAVE TO GET TUNED! you cant plug in any old settings and expect them to work, different elevations/temperatures, lots of differences between everybodys setup on here for fuel. What do you mean the filter you can figure out?? hopefully you have one?

what do you need??? this has been covered sooo many times, but here ya go::

boost gauge
wideband a/f gauge
egt gauge would be very smart
somewhere to mount the gauges
Missing link, or something to keep the MAP from seeing boost
hopefully you changed your fluids??? you need new fluids
Do you have a hi flow cat, or something to get the CEL off (its not needed, but its definately a good idea to know when a code is being thrown that matters, if its always on, you wont know til its too late)

there is probably more, but thats the main stuff you need.
