afm and o2 sensors are no different as for the ecu, just leave the turboo one in it, will run better than with the n/a one, and yeah mayb a bit rich but who cares, a little rich never hurt anytrhing more than your plugs and your pocket

just, unbolt turbo manifold and bolt on extractors, leave everything else as is, if you got 400cc injectors it wont run of a standard ecu, and it wont run rich off the ecu you have now because thats wat ur airflow meter reads

When I got my VLT it had extractors on, turbo in the boot in pieces. It had bugger all power and when ya put ya foot down, big clouds of black smoke trailed behind.

if the car is running sweet now, do as said previously, leave everything as it is now, just bolt the extractors up, mount the afm to an airbox if its not on one, and all will be fine, its got a afm so it will sense what airs going in it wont run any diffrent other then having no boost

The spark may be strong but too narrow and can cause spark blow out. I've had a few problems with iridium plugs when my car was dyno tuned. The problem was cutting out on high boost. Since I've used the Bosch super plus spark plug I've no problems and was recommended by the tuner.(nice fat spark) Plus the right heat range.
