1. Don't drive the car until it's properly tuned.
2. Make sure you have the proper fuel system for the horsepower you will be making (440-550cc injectors and a walbro 255 lph fuel pump will suffice for most stock b16 turbos on pump gas)
3. Make sure you are running a resistor box if you are using low impedance injectors.
4. Make sure you have an aftermarket map sensor such as a 2.5 bar if you are running more then 10 psi of boost.
5. Have your ecu chipped/socketed
6. Have the car dyno tuned

I am in temecula cali not too far from oceanside, i have a wideband and a real time programmer as well as i am able to rent a dyno if you want to go that route...

i also do chipping on ecu's if you want a street tune i usually charge $100 to hook up my wideband and tune the car, if you would like a dyno tune its $200 to start and $30 an hour after 3 hours because of the setup time i have to do using a dynapack

make sure you have injectors and a fuel pump, if your not trying to push alot of power right now you can get away without the fuel pump, but it is highly recommended

let me know if you need some help, my name is mike send me pm and ill send u my phone number
