Drove it around the block today, smooth as silk.
Gotta take off the 4psi boost cut, but damn it's nice!
new clutch actually engages where it's supossed....had me worried for a second, since im used to it engaging on the floor.
more tuning tomorrow, done for the day.

i did about 2/100th of the build, but 100% of the cursing. Just took some head scratching to get spark to work, and then it was just the little things.
Big props the Brian (NeoGen) and Lars (Sheuind) for making my dreams come true..:gay:
Lars, here how the board ended up:

It looks like you are using the VB921 Mod sending out to your stock ignitor. That is not the diyautune mods for the stock ignitors.
also what is that jumper that I circled doing?

The jumper that you circled is for the PWM Idle mod. It says in megamanual to jumper that instead of putting in the R39. I had to look that up myself.
As for not doing the DIY way, we had it that way first. There was no way we could get spark doing it that way. So we switched it to how Brads was done and spark worked right away. I have my MS set up the DIY way and get no spark. I am going to try switching to that way and see if that fixes it.

Actually it was a MS thing, something I saw in Al's map so I did it myself so i didn't fudge the bucket.....there's just a boost cut setting, so if you boost above a certain point it's like a nice big rev limiter. Advanced > Over Boost Protection
Akaryrye...you acutally have it how i think it should be...look at DIY's diagram again and they have it slightly different than that....but the way you show it is how I think it should be to put it on the correct resistor...either way, I believe it's only for the LEDs.

Talking about rev limiters i kind of want to put it on spark cut only and set it for like 6k just to see how it sounds or how well it works. I'm sure it works good, but I was told it will backfire like a bastard if you just cut spark, is that right? I don't have a cat so that part of it isn't dangerous.

except now i gotta tune it....I believe I'm using Al's turbosetup.msq as a base, adjusted the VE table for more fuel and my engine constant....it runs great till about 5psi where it shoot lean....gotta figure that one out, then if I'm in low rpms the AFR will start going more and more lean untill the car starts to shake, then it wakes up and drives normal again....besides that it feels nice....going to go look at my logs now.

see between 145 sec and 165 sec for the lean issue at cruise....notice my rpms
and between 240 and 250 sec for lean issue in boost:
