OP, where's your wideband O2 in your list? Did I miss it? Also, I have never felt good about using a EBC as your only boost gauge. If the ebc fails, I'd like to know how much boost I'm running.

Also, you might want to go with a stiffer spring in the wastegate. Even if it's marked at a certain psi, there's enough of a variance that it might not actually be the desired pressure.

Copy that on the spring. Nope you did not miss it. I was trying to get away with just the SGC-1 (which has the built in wideband & boost pressure) for a while before swapping out the 3 factory gauges for an aftermarket oil temp, wideband, and boost (or something of that sort)

I was under the assumption that the EBC was a fail-open type of thing. That being said I wanted to get a map set up with the BC off, this if things ever start acting fishy (say, the EBC is failing) I have a back to the basics fallback which relies solely on spring pressure. Your thoughts? I have yet to talk to my tuner about this so I'm also interested in what he will have to say.
