i totally agree with you but what i am saying is that i lowered my boost to make up for the amount of air going in. stock boost is 8psi and i went down to 5psi. i ran on the dyno with a wide band under full load in all gears and the leanest it got was 14.9 to 1, when 14.7 to 1 is most desirable.
this week i am adding the injectors and the adjustable fpr with the s-afc so i can crank the boost up.
but i totally agree on the blood sweat and tears. i have been building my other car for years and have built many other peoples cars in the past so i know what you mean when you grenade or melt down internals.
i also thought you would have to use the stock sensor but i found out that the car responds better with the lexus sensor. for some reason unknown to me but it works.
