car running again.. few more questions
Alright! My car finally started today. It was definately a blown ecu, thanks again for the replacement Ted. Now I'm back on track for some upgrading, but before I start, there are a few things I was wondering about..
I've ordered a full Racing Beat exhaust that should be on my doorstep in the next few days. It's the one that is suppose to give me like 59 more hp. In preparation for it, I have installed a walbro fuel pump, an aftermarket boost gauge and I have an FCD ready to go.
Is there anything I should worry about after I put it on?
I've been browsing around this forum a lot lately and I'm kind of afraid of something happening like leaning out or blowing something up.. is there anything else I should get or do?
Thanks, Colby

sorry.. forgot to mention I have an 88 TII and also would like to know about how much boost I should be getting after the exhaust with the stock wastegate.. I'm seeing about 5 pounds in every gear now.

Great to hear it's fixed!
About the only thing that's missing would be a fuel pump re-wire or check to make sure the fuel pump is getting full voltage at WOT runs.  Other than that, watch the boost creep - I'm not too sure if you can port your wastgate, but that's all recommended to minimize the boost creep.
Other than that, enjoy the car!
