Just today I was messing around with some of the settings, and found that TPSdot was twice the value it needed to rev properly....I think it was set at 1.0-15ms, so I back it down to .1-8ms, and it now revs cleanly, without smoke.
I do confess I took it for a quick spin around the block this afternoon, and it feels pretty good. Obviously, it's gonna take some time with the wideband and AFR taget tables to get it where I want it, but I'm very pleased overall by how the system works.
Thank you Bruce and Al!!!!
Also, big thanks to Glen's Garage, you guys rule!!!

Also, I noticed IAT never really gets past around 160*, anyone ever get really high IAT's?

I saw the dyno chart and the post about the high air temps, makes me wonder how much fresh air your getting through your intercooler on the dyno-vs.-regular driving.
If you get the air to water set up in there, and add the water/meth inj, you will drastically drop the temps and gain a bunch of power even at the same boost. A 12 second sleeper bug is something most folks woulnd even see coming. I have done 6 or 7 MS installs, loved every one of them, but only one was a turbo *sigh* and it was for a freind who was turboing some other guys car, never got the time to tune it perfect, and i think i was having lowZ injector resets every once and awhile, so i was left dissapointed that the owner refused to leave it long evough for me to get it sorted out. other than that the MS ran great, it was a 2006 mazda3. first gear was useless @ 10 psi. but man did it pull in second!
Anyway, seing your build has re lit an old fire, Bugs are so easy to work on and cheep compaired to other cars (plus the rear engine!!), I think its the ultimate sleeper, Never even thought of mounting the turbo behind the rear seat, sickly sneeky man!
Please keep posting picks and stats.
