Yeah, you will need DSMlink. And be careful with 22psi on a stock HG, you dont want that to pop. Stay down around 20, dont go much higher. Id say your HP will be down lower to 300 with that SAFC and 20psi. Get link where you can monitor your knock alot easier, where you can adjust your timing and fuel trims even more precisely than with the SAFC. Then you can expect to get around 330hp on 20psi, link is that leet.

I swapped turbo's on that thing more than you can count, the bolts should be good. I never had any trouble getting them in or out. The only thing that is a pain is the oil return line can be a PITA. Either double gasket the line to the pan, or use RTV, it has a tendency to leak where the line attaches to the pan.

The 2g o2 housing is nice, ported is even better. Use a die grinder, it seems to work better than a dremel (assuming you have access to air tools). Id be more than willing to help, so would 1badgvr4. Just let me know whats up, I wouldnt mind working on my old ride again. Good luck Evan.

I personally have had horrible experiences with the MAF-T, its a PITA to use. Id just stick with the 2g maf, you will not outflow the 2g maf on the 16g. My buddy was running a 3065 with a 2g maf and ran 11.5 numerous times. He was at like 80% flow too, he wasnt near maxing the maf out.
