Well dumb me I had the fuel and boost sending units backwards. One was a 10 bar and I figured that was for boost while the 60 psi was fuel but not according to instructions. I swapped them and I can hit 29 psi boost pretty easy (now the exhaust is open so I don't want to tick off the neighbors) and fuel stays at 10 psi which would be right for a stock in tank lift pump. I also found out that this motor could run 1400 degrees stock so that 1200 isn't crazy. I don't think I will spend much time at max boost so I'm not as worried anymore.
Now the question is if there is a tune. I think I decided to get the Smarty JR. the 2004.5 is write only on the computer so the Smarty has the stock tune inside, plus it has a lower power tune that doesn't add any more fuel, just maps timing better and supposedly lowers cruising EGT a fair amount.

I ordered a muffler and resonator, a 4" air filter, and one new intercooler boot that is missing some expansion preventing rings and feels soft to me.

Feeling much better overall for sure.
