Why don't you just go with 3 550's and 3 1600's? That will do the job well as long as you can tune for the transition.

Ahh, changing injectors still leaves the motor "unopened."

yeah, i know. step one was to make sure i could get it running. step 2 is to unrig all the stuff i rigged to see if it would run. step 3 is to take it apart and make it shiny

it runs good, i'm giving up on the boost problem and putting the boost controller in the right spot. i had it in place of the factory solenoid.

i cant find any leaks or anything, so its either it can't bleed off fast enough, or my ic piping/exhaust is too restictive

Ahh, you should bring it to me. I'll get it working right. You just need to put the boost controller between the turbo outlet(there should be a little nipple coming off of the outletes) and the wastegate.

ok i figured it out. you know how i said i was using the stock boost soleniod spot? when i moved the boost controller over i put a "u" shaped peice of hose in there. so the nipple for the waste gate is a "t" one side goes right to the actuator and the other goes to the solenoid and then back to in front of the air filter. so when i put that u hose in there i had mayself a) 6mm boost leak, B) no pressure going to the wategate (this is ok). so i fixed it, relearned to boost controller and now it works like it should .

@ .8kgcm2 it squats like it has stock suspension
