My injectors are currently far from being maxed out. In fact, I have the S-AFC tuned to -36% at idle and the car is still rich enough to blow black smoke and turn the cat red.
By lighting the tires in 2nd gear, I mean shifting from 1st to 2nd, spinning the tires unable to get traction to the point they smoke...Rolling burnout.

So much for 4psi, eh Aaron? 
Got me with that 'blew my rear rotor'.. I was so freaked
Congrats! But what are you going to do? Fuel up for 8psi? or?

I have way more fuel than I need for 8PSI...I just have to tune the S-AFC so I feel comfortable running those boost levels...Up until about 5 PSI I'm running almost full rich, then it starts to creep towards the orange. I've increased all the high throttle settings by 10% just to be safe, and added another 5% on top of that above 5000 RPM. Like I said, I just have to spend some time tuning things...
However, I have noticed today that I may have a fuel leak at the primary injectors.
There is a strong fuel odor under the hood, and I may have seen some wetness under the upper intake...However, I have not actually been able to see the leak, so the smell may just be the car running rich at idle (which it does)...I'll take the upper intake off on Saturday just to make sure, and avoid driving very much until then.

I am going though the same prob.
Just change the o-rings and the bottom insulators (a small cost for preventive maintainance). Dont for get to use engine oil when installing the O-rings.
Before you do that, do the fuel priming to see or smell and leaks while the engine is not running. If you have a leak during this test....you will see it.

I have a fire extinguisher in the car...I've heard too many horror stories not to carry one.
I would assume the leak is coming from the O-rings at the top of the injector, or the banjo bolt, or possibly a hose clamp I forgot to tighten...basically, anywhere it could leak. I don't use engine oil when installing the o-rings, I use vascelene since I have lots of it around and it's nice and thick.

Well, I'll put it this way. I'll do the conversion for anyone who asks. It will include:
-rebuilt TII turbo/manifold/spacer
-front mounted TII intercooler
-bigger fuel pump (either the FD pump, an aftermarket unit, or whatever I can find)
-cleaned TII injectors
-S-AFC, boost guage
-Some BOV
-Downpipe
-Turbo inlet duct
-all oil and water piping
-oil/coolant change
You must leave the car with me for at least 4 months, payment in full before I even consider starting, no warranties of ANY kind.
And the price? $5000 US.

I'm sure you can scrounge them up....I believe I spent roughly $4500 Canadian in the end, but that included several "extras" such as silicon vacuum hose, stainless oil cooler lines, replacement engine mounts, some interior trim (damaged during boost gauge install), etc...
If you search the forum for "turbo adapter" you will find instructions to make the spacer.

Hey Aaron,
Just curious buy why didnt you have someone make you a stainless steel turbo manifold. You might have had a nicer fit under the hood. Was it a matter of cost as im sure that would be expensive?

DC350: I used a regular video camera, and then captured with an ATI TV Wonder. The TV Wonder kind of sucks, so if I were you I'd buy a different capture card...Check out http://www.tomshardware.com and see what they recommend. Simple captured, edited roughly in Adobe Premiere and then compressed via DivX.
Drakk0r: Remember the extras that I spent money on. Also, it is a LOT more expensive to buy these parts around here since we must pay in US money, exchange, shipping, duty, etc. Can sometimes add 50% to the cost of a product.
j9fd3s: Doubt it's the PD since there is no evidence of fuel leaking from that area. In fact, there is no evidence of fuel leaking from anywhere now...Perhaps it was simply the rich smell created from idling for so long in traffic...the car is running VERY rich at idle right now...

Hmm, I've never seen an intermittant PD...It's either leaking or not...
Basically, the upper intake has to come off to determine if there is a leak or not, simple as that. I'm not going to guess based on the fact that I smelled fuel once...Since then, there has been no indication that there is a fuel leak at all.
I will simple remove the upper intake on Saturday and check for leaks...

Wow look what I found after a week of not being on the forum. Way to go Aaron. Were the injectors new or used? Your leak reminds me of a broken injector insulator (3 dollar mazda part). One of my friends with a t2 upgraded to 680 secondaries (used) his leaked like in your description.

Well, it doesn't look like there's a fuel leak at all...I was just being paranoid. I thought back, and everytime I thought I smelled gas, I was passing a gas station! Duh! Oh well, keeps me on my toes...
However, I have noticed that the car does run hotter than it did before. I chalk that up to the extra heat load the turbo has added, and that the FMIC may block some airflow to the rad. In traffic, it sits with the guage slightly above half. This does not make me happy. As a temporary solution, I will put in some Watter-Wetter. Once I have the time and extra cash, I'll get one of those neat Fluidyne rads....
I drove the car about 160KM on the highway today, and have so far had no problems save for the very rich idle.

i had a gas smell on my fd and it was hard to diagnose because everytime i would stop to check it, i was at a corner with a gas station. i finally remembered to check it at home and it turned out ot be a bad gas cap.
