Results are in on page 10 @ 17 PSI now with vid!
I'm FINALLY close to having everything done and ready to for dyno tuning. All I need to do is try a little experimenting with the stock fuel pressure regulator to see if I can do a boost referencing setup while keeping it hidden in the tank (because I live in cali which sux cause I have to make EVERYTHING stock for smog every 2 years) which I will post results when I’m done. I’m hoping for power in the mid to high 200's

Boost Referencing stock fuel system
Magnaflow 2.5" Cat
Tanabe Hyper Medailan
AEM Wideband
Dyno results: 235HP / 206TQ @ 13 PSI - Still not close to my goal. The exhaust was choking it and clutch started slipping when we unbolted it.
Update
Head Gasket - Replaced Overheating Fixed
Stage 4 Clutch - Installed
Custom 3" Turbo-Back Exhaust - Done

yup here ya go
Hankook R-S2's in 225/50/15
I took no pics of the building process because I diddnt feel like getting my camera all greasy. There will be a video of the dyno run and maybe a short one in the car too after the tune.

The BOV is a greddy RS which replaced the stock Tial one. The intake and recirculation tubes are custom.

you're going to want to cut the flange off the cat back and put in a new one. Tanabe rigged that thing for the stock cat, its got a 2" hole in the flange. The motor is NOT going to like getting corked like that. Cut it out, and weld in a new flange (and the 3" or so of expansion section in the exhaust pipe).... you're also going from 2.5 to 2.25 with the DP to exhaust.... trust me from my own dynoing, when you turn the boost up, its gonna clog it like a ****, but good luck

ya I have an appt tomorrow to get that taken care of. When I got the catback I was like WTF?! lol but I know the stock cat does have a smaller outlet. I may eventually go with a totally different exhaust all together. Maybe custom or something. Whatever it is, I want it quiet but this fits the bill for now.

So you're still running the returnless fuel setup? Is that because of the draconian Cali green laws? Looks good though! I want to enjoy the sound of my BOV for a while and then I'm sure I'll convert to the Greddy/recirc combo for sleeper-ness. Can't wait to see dyno results!

its a D17A1 w/ manual trans. Im keeping the returnless fuel system but I bought 2 extra stock fuel pumps w/ cages on ebay for like $30 each to see if I could mod the stock fpr for boost refrencing or maybe replace it with a different reg that can increase fuel pressure w/ boost.
I like the weather in cali but the smog laws SUCK!

Are you not going to break in the motor first? We never dyno the car after we build the motor. I usually just do a mild tune for driving in vacume so that you have 500 miles to break the motor and use conventional oil. After 500 mile add royal purple and let it rip dyno time

The engine has been in my car for about a month and ive already put about 400 easy miles on it using my other tune so it was a bit rich but still in the safe zone. I switched to M1 last weekend. So I should be fine. If anything happens to it im getting pretty good at pulling the engines out of these cars so its not to big of a deal.

Well results are in. I modded the stock regulator for a vacuum/boost refrence. and under 5 PSI of boost my pressure goes up to about 50 and at idle its maybe 32 PSI. So after I messed with kpro a bit ive found its even easier to tune. Here are some pics of my modification. Basically I took the idea from this site and applied it to our stock regulator. http://www.dune-buggy.com/turbo/fuelsystem.htm

The way you did your fuel system is going to give you lean cuts when your low on fuel FYI....
this would have been better:
