I'm shooting to stay like at 160whp so I don't believe I will need new injectors. I'll also be trying non inter cooled. I'm going to keep boost at 7psi and will keep a close eye with my incoming wideband and this 
That welded wiener looks like your oil drain, the bent hard line is probably oil in and the two banjo bolts are the water in and out. Look up your turbo manufacturer for proper water flow direction. Probably doesn't matter too much though.
What injectors did you decide to use?

I appriciate your concern. But thing is, thats like another $500. I live in Hawaii and its usually like 80's and highs of low 90's so it is relatively cool and high humidity. I will make sure to keep an eye on the temps and injector duty. if at any point I see anything alarming, I'll pony up.

You keep saying you understand.
But you don't.
But I guess if your goal really is only a measly 160, it will likely work.
and at least both those items can be added later without too much work
90's ambient will result in like 180-220* ait on a boosted pull. I'm sure your engine doesn't like swallowing lava
But you don't.

Correct. You have no idea what egt's are, and could never respond quickly enough on boost if it started to detonate.
Do you really think that people haven't tried your route? You seem to be in a super hurry to screw this thing up. Yesterday you didn't know what the lines coming out of the turbo were for, let alone run megasquirt. I was confused as all hell when I started using MS, but I was only na and had a huge margin for error.
What on earth makes you think that you are mentally prepared to take on this task at this point in time?
If you don't slow down, this thing is destined to be an artificial reaf.

You also bought the most expensive MS possible...you could have gotten a MS2 from the forums for like $400 then had $800. Thats enough for IDs and a Stage 2 intercooler from fab9...
That was easily your biggest mistake.

I thought I need ms3 for the nb2..
My plan is to learn about tuning while NA until summer then go turbo. If it is the case that I dont freakin need the ms3 I'd be better off selling it for a small loss and picking up something for $400.

stop misleading this noob
no you didn't pay 700 for someone to assemble it
yes the ms3 is awesome and what you need to properly and nicely control your nb2
yes it's worth every penny of the 1k you spent on it.
next guy that tells someone they're stupid for paying a PROFESSIONAL to assemble an ecu better have a self built one in their car or I'm gonna e-slap them
I'd say 70% of the people here are not capable of building their own ms3 properly, and should absolutely buy a pnp unit from rev, brain, or diy
