It's not going to happen dude, these cars are a fuckin disease. Anyone that's had one and was happy to leave it at 10psi has never been on this forum. Beautiful, pristine example .
Maybe xr6eta is right. Got the bug yet?

Can the lower part of the front bar go back on? You're 14 psi ahead of my build at the moment and having some fun with it. Good stuff, enjoy.

Relocated the afm to in the cooler piping. But when I start it it runs then randomly cuts out like someone turned the key off. Checked ecu and it's telling me water temp sensor which Is brand new. And now telling me cas aswell, as the car is not starting. Will try get new cas today and if that doesn't fix it I'l fuckin burn the thing. Giving me so much grief like computer coil afm leads cas

I find even when you do good things to the car i.e. service, check timing etc etc, bad shit happens as in your case. It's like everytime you touch the bastard it stirs something new up.
