will a chip alone get me going?

[mcurtiss]

i have a 91 talon tsi awd with a manual transmission. i have just installed a fmic, 16g turbo, new blow off valve ( will be venting externally), full 3 " exhaust system, thinner radiator fans, a clutchmasters stage 2 clutch, & swapped out my single syncros for doubles in my trans ( had a clutch fork break & swithced them during repairs). I have also aquired 550 injectors, ordered a walboro 255 fuel pump, & picked up a 3" gm maf with translator for the 1g. i was thinking of going with an safc 2 until someone said it would be better to purchase a chip. i have read so many threads i think i have confused myself. would getting a chip for my ecm be the way to go or should i go with the safc 2 (price is kind of a factor)? also would like to know what else i am forgetting.

Link is going to be the best bet in the long run. Lots of info on here and even more satisfied customers.

Ditch safc, maft all that crap and get like a 2g maf with pigtail and a eprom ecu and pm my1gdsm for customer chip tune. You won't regret it. http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds/freelancer-products-services-10/remote-tuningcustom-chips-ecu-flashing-33180/?catid=searchresults&searchid=374934 Half the price of ecmlink but comes with great customer service. I love working with my1gdsm he is very great minded and super cool to know.

am i still ok venting to atmosphere with the 2g maf? it is not a huge deal if i need to get another bov, this one was just free & am trying to save a little money. or could i even temporarily get away with crushing the stock valve with this setup? i would rather spend the money on more crucial things for now

You're going to go rich inbetween shifts. I have a 2g maf and won't vent. If anything it only helps not to vent. I use a 2g maf and the 2g maf to turbo pipe. I cut the tube that goes from the BOV inlet to the intake pipe. The BOV is louder if that's what you're looking for. I guess cutting that tube helps with air flow if anything. It was a pretty big obstruction in the intake path.
