Unless you have a wideband O2 sensor and a friend to drive for a while, once again, you can't tune it yourself. Even with a wideband it can be risky for a novice.

The trick to turbo setups: Install the turbo and set the AFC pig rich. Drive it to a dyno. A DIY tuning hour should cost $75 or less, and you can get some real numbers to show your friends along with a few neat-o graphs of horsepower, torque, A/F ratios, etc.
