My money sittuation is good to go, thanks to my recent notification that I'm going to Oklahoma City for 3 months minimum.
I'm thinking I should do megasquirt (full stand alone, no stock ecu) on the 1.6 first. Then I should gut the wrecked 99 and stuff all that in the car, then do the turbo kit right?
Are the 1.6 brakes with hawk hp+ going to be scary on the track in a car with a stock 1.6?

i still live in Dallas, and plan on living there for most of my life. I just travel constantly for work. There are like 12 cars at 200whp or better in circle here, all but 2 are blown.

so what are you plans again?, im sure youve talked about it before, but sounds like you are swapping stuff from a wrecked 99 into a 1.6 shell?

I want to make as much power as the stock 1.8 drive train will hold. I'll be happy with like 230whp, but I don't think I will go over 260 or so. I don't really know how much boost I want to run. I originally intended to leave the car at stock compression, but now I'm considering a copper head gasket with an o-ringed head. Right now I plan running stock compression and like 9 psi.
I don't want to drop another $2k on building up the motor, if I'm never going to make enough power to use it.

I don't know if I want to tune it on the fly, or just pay someone to stick in on the dyno and tune.

You really dont need to worry about the VE thing honestly. If you start with the .msq that al hunous posted in the settings thread you can tune from that. It is rich enough to be safe to run to start. With the VE table if you increase the number you add fuel, if you decrease the number you subtract fuel. A single digit with VE can change your afr abour .5:1
