Thanks, everyone. Should have updated last night...but I didn't.
Injectors are in, but I procrastinated that "one last thing" that the car needed (coolant line from turbo) and discovered that I hadn't done the oil drain line either, and also discovered that I couldn't really do either one without pulling the turbo, so...I had to reschedule my tuning.
On the bright side, it's snowing like crazy today, so I probably would have had to reschedule it anyway. On the not so bright side, this is why you don't procrastinate, kids.
Going to do those two lines today, and finish mounting the boost controller. Hopefully tuning will happen within the next two weeks, but I work retail and this is our busy season, so I don't get a whole lot of time off.

Here's how I decided to mount my boost controller. When I bought the car, there was a digital AFR gauge next to it, but that was eliminated with the AEM standalone, so I've been playing around with some ideas to fill that space. It's just a sheet of metal wrapped in CF patterned vinyl, but I think it looks pretty darn good. Don't mind the gap on the left, it wasn't totally finished when I took the picture.
The bane of my existence:
I pee coolant:
The current state of my car:
And tuning has been rescheduled for the 13th...hopefully for real this time.

That went MUCH better than I expected. Much, much, much better. Gained over 50 wheel horsepower at the same exact boost levels. I'm a pansy, so I didn't want to crank up the boost, but it spools up much quicker than it did before. So tired and delirious, but here's a video. Disregard our silliness at the beginning... :P
