vrg3 - Great! So I can just keep my MAF sensor for the turbo swap (1990 5MT N/A).

It's not made to boost, it's kind of like people who smoke... what is going to eventually happen?

Steve - If it's an aluminum-bodied sensor (made by Hitachi, part number 22680AA170), then, yes, you can use it with the EJ22T ECU. If it's not, then (watch out -- shameless plug!) I have a Hitachi sensor for sale in the parts shed. :)
The key is that the 8-bit Hitachi ECUs use the Hitachi sensor and the 16-bit JECS/AECS ECUs use the JECS sensor. Hitachi ECUs were used in all turbos and some 1990 5MT non-turbos.

If you don`t get crazy, and the motor is in good shape, you can safely run 5 psi on 91 octane fuel if the motor is COMPLETELY stock. You will, however, benefit greatly by having the following: good ignition, coil, plug wires, ONE heat range colder plug, RRFPR, Bosch blow-off valve (cheap and effective) and associated pipes and brackets necessary to do the job right. Any thing extra you do (like a better fuel pump, a/a intercooler, etc.) will only help with detonation and longevity. If you do any less than the minimum, make sure you have a spare motor to drop in!! Good luck.....Someone who knows what NOT to do!
