i am building good power cheap but alot of the stuff has been done half ***. So just watch how you do it. i have no fuel plate, star screw all the way, afc coustom tweaked(not sure a buddy did it for me), timing , intake and exhaust. mine is cranked up cheap but not sure how reilable it is so i have to watch it big time.
just a lil word for the wise watch ho much you cut corners... also a plugged waste gate

you should have no reliability problems with that except with the plate in that you shoudl definatly run a plate, so the rack dont stick a zero plate will give you the same effect as no plate, did you dyno that at 425/1050

for injectors you can always get ahold of a new year 12v man trans 215 injectors those help out.- can be found used pretty cheap I paid about $150 for all 6.
3k gsk ( avoid the make your own shim idea its easier to just get the right part from the begining)- about $125
grind fuel plate-Free
boost elbow- around $20 I believe
some people say bhaf but in reality been told it is cheaper to buy a decent reuseable filter.(either one works though)- I think I paid about $60 for my bhaf
adjusting the timing helps alot.-Free
tweek with the afc.-Free

hope this is some help
