Yes, damn police pulling you over for doing stupid ****. 
Cheapest way is to not put it in. Stock injectors can't push enough gas.

i know u probably expected to just buy the kit slap it on and then, have fun but it does'nt seem 2 work like that. I feel your pain i was kinda in the same position. But one of my boys told me i was rushing to get my car fixed up and i have'nt even had it two years yet. I would honestly say bro just to chill out wait until you have the right parts and then put it all on. Because if you take shortcuts you may blow your motor like boilermaker said, then you have no turbo no motor no nothing but headaches. Patience My Dear Friedn Patience!!!

Go ahead and run your stock injectors with just an SAFC II. That extra 10% pulsewidth increase on the stock injectors should supply you with enough fuel to run some boost. Just use a boost controller to turn your boost down. If you dont have a boost controller, just take the vaccum line off the wastegate actuator. Your car will only make as much boost as it can handle. If there isnt enough fuel, then it wont do it. Simple as that.
Ok, enough with the fairytales. Do it right and get a REAL engine management. SAFCII is crap. Stock injectors are crap. Work around those parameters and you should be fine.

Rep Power: 0 i know, but i am with out a car now, i mean i need the car to get to work. i live like a mile away. trust me i want to do it right and make some good numbers but **** happens that you dont expect it to so you have to look other ideas. i guess i have to run it at low psi, but right now without the better fuel delivery i am having these problems, idel is at 600 rpm and some times the car shuts off. i can only rev it to 3500 rpm in 1st and 3000 rpm in 2nd so on. i know i am not getting fuel, i cant lower my boost without a boost controller. i guess i have to walk to work or something... buy a bike at walmart...whatever. plus i am not sure if i wired the black box correctly cuz i am getting a engine code p1505 which means map sensors detecting more preasure that expected. and a engine code p1219f which has to do with the idel... thanks guys

Rep Power: 285 you cant lower your boost.... period.
Take the rod off that connects the wastegate actuator to the internal flapper. This will prevent the turbo from spooling up. Then you can try to drive it easily. Im not saying it is safe, but definately better than running it any other way.
And get the damn correct parts right away. Dont waste money or time on an safc.

Rep Power: 413 why don't you take the turbo stuff off and run OEM? That is the only way to solve your problem. The people above are not being a-holes, they are telling you the truth and trying to help you from killing your motor....

Rep Power: 379 I got an SF FMU if you want to buy it. Works fine. Just reccommend tightening the lines and some new teflon tape on the threads. I took it off becasue i got E-Manage after i got a small leak.

You can take this any way you want. Never half a$$... Half a$$ing ALWAYS leads to more problems then your expecting. There is no halfway with boosting these motors. Its **** or get off the pot. There are realisticly only 2 options for you. Remove boost or BLOW ENGINE.
