Yeah i finally figured out why the s300 was running crappy it was because of ignition timing. The apex would advance timing where the spark would be complete and the s300 would run stock timing and it wouldnt ignite all the way so i took the spark plug gap from 44 thou. to 30 thou. the s300 is running great and I havent had any problems form it. The only problem now is the shitty turbo and wastegate which disables me to use my very expensive boost controller.
I think the reason it isn't running correctly is that you have gotten yourself in over your head.
been there done that
