Thanks, I wanted to know your point of view so thanks guys, you have confirmed my doubts about open westgates, I'm going to have the recirculated as I previously disscused that with Sasha.

If you have some thougts about what else should I think about with this awsome kit feel free to share.

I'm going to choose Apexi avcr boost controller, heard that they do the job perfectly. I imagine that it is a must to limit the boost at first two gears.

First gear is kind of self-limiting in that since the engine doesn't really see enough load to hit full boost. You'll break the tires loose first. In second gear my tires break loose at wastegate pressure, so no boost controller is going to help too much there. Just go ahead and get rid of the idea that there's any traction in first and second.

You beat me to it. I haven't even tried to go full throttle yet and still have traction problems in the first 2 gears

I'm starting to think a good old fashion manual boost controller might be the way to go after all. I'm trying to see if I can find one local today before my tune tomorrow. If not, I may just toss in the 10psi springs as Sasha suggested.

When it's cold out, first is a 1/4 throttle gear. Second will allow 1/3 throttle before the tires break loose. You either baby it through the top of second or short shift into third and go WOT.

That sounds pretty much spot on. It's going to take some finesse to put the power down.

And that's on 285 rears. Next time I'm going with 305s and seeing if that gives me more useable power in second.

I've got 305s but with the cold weather they still break loose easily. I'm sure it'll be a different story once it starts warming up though.

In the heat of summer you'll be down 30-50whp or so, so they'll hook just fine.

Plus the tires won't be the equivalent of hockey pucks.

What kind of tires are you guys running? I still have my stock nismo tires. They are still at like 85% tread. No point getting rid of them so I figure I would just use them up.

I'm on OE Nismo tires.

Yeah, so you'lll be able to use 1/2-2/3 throttle in second. First is still useless, there's just a higher margin for error launching the car.

What kind of tires are you guys planning to run after burning the current ones up? I am thinking about Toyo R888s

Not sure just yet. My tires are basically brand new and I don't put a lot of miles on the car so I have some time. I've heard good things about the R888s and they're definitely on my list of possible replacements.
