Thanks Neal,

yea i sure could use the help, I went to the Q with the car this weekend (didnt run it) and talked to another GN own that informed me i had a stock turbo and the likes. still having a problem on the top end not wanting to pull after 10 pounds of boost! it has a lot of pull on the bottom. i hooked my knock gauge up and sometimes it reads in the lower yellow lights and then it doesnt read at all sometimes? so i been playing it safe! Let me know if anybody has any ideas? i would also like to know why it runs really high idle when cold sometimes and doesnt idle right till after ive had it in gear for a while or i shut it off and turn it back on.

You may want to invest in a scan master. The knock gauge is a good tool but can sometimes be off and wrong. Those gauges can pick up everything..like false KR. Plus I really never understood how much KR green, yellow and red represented.

A Scan Master is a cheaper tool to help you with getting your car set up correctly.

I am not too sure what your car has done, but a few other good things to do to the car before you start trying to make more power would be,
1. Adjustable fuel PSI regulator w/a working PSI gauge.
2. Stronger fuel pump w/ a hot wire kit
3. Boost gauge (factory ones suck)

I know there are other devices that can be used on these cars, but if you get a scan master as well with the other three things stated above, you will have a good base line of the car.

If everything looks good after you get the basics done, then have at and break your car like everyone else has!!! Trust me, its TONS-O-FUN
