Engine Management: Any body use Megasquirt? Is it worth the money it is. I know it's rAther cheap but I've seen the software and I'm not sure if I want it based on the software design. I will have a larger turbo and I rather not have a piggy back unit. So any other suggestions on engine management units?

Has anyone ever installed the MAF on the throttle body side? I heard it prevents stalling when the bov goes off. Any body ever done this or is this a bad idea on an sr20. One of my buddies has his setup like this on hius turbo charged hyundai accent.

What type of BOV should I run an HKS SSQV or some sort of Greddy equivalent, I'm planning on 500 hp at one point but in the beginning it will only be pushing stock boost. Also any recommendations on external wastegates?

Intakes: Cone or sponge? Is the greddy airinx worth the money?

Exhaust: I'm thinking of the RSR Mag because of it's quiet design. Any other similiar exhausts that might be cheaper but just as quiet?

Is the T28 a direct bolt on besides adjusting the computer and timing? Like you don't need a new exhaust manifold or anything right from the stock T25?

Anyone have any suggestions on an LSD I plan on using either a Nismo 2-way or KAAZ 2-way LSD. I am going to be using it most for drifting so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apexi Rev/Speed meter: Is it necessary to adjust the stock rev limiter and speed limiter or can my stand alone handle all that.

Also 6 puck clutch and light weight flywheel from JGY or a JWT Z33 clutch and lightweight flywheel. Suggestions would be greatly appreciation.

As I said before I plan on running the stock boost for about a month before I boost it up unless I happen to run in to a T28 then it be a little bit more powerful. My final power goal is between 350 and 500 hp. So I'm trying to plan for that now so I Have enough room for expansion.

Thanks for answering all my questions. I'll post pics on my website and movies when I get it finished. I'll be back from Iraq on June 22 so I'll be back in the phila area which is when I'll be finishing the project. If you guys wanna hang out just drop me a line. By the way I'm running a S13 Redtop.
