Yes, after an arduous fabrication fest, 80tqEFI is up and running!  Honestly the most frustrating part of the whole project was getting a laptop that would work with the software (what do I expect using old outdated laptops!).  

The car runs super smooth, amazing the improvement in smoothness over CIS, throttle response is instantaneous.  The car runs and feels like an injected multi-port american V8, the most noticeable improvement being the top-end performance, pulls like a raped something or other right past 6k RPM to 7K.  I attribute this to mostly the lack of intake restrictions, considering a cone filter is essentially clamped onto the inlet of the turbo and the huge VR6 throttle body/intercooler.

Currently boost is set to 5psi till I get all the maps dialed in, but performace is unbelievable compared to my "old rally" beater 4kq I have been driving the past few months.  =)

I will keep you all updated as boost creeps to the 20psi mark!

Feeling a little "giddy"
