NO MORE VACUUM!!! (another NA-T thread)
So its taken me a while to gather all the parts i wanted and this past week they all came together and now i finally have boost again!!! Im running a Dave H Boostwerx kit (AWESOME) with a precision T-61 (polished by me),tial 38mm waste gate,custom oil lines,universal fmic/ic piping,blow thru MAF setup,AEM F/ic to control fuel,TT supra pump,Token solutions o2 sim, HKS ssqv,custom 3" exhaust with an APEXi N1. All the work was done by me and my friend dave at his shop: stouffers performance in hagerstown MD. Im only running 4psi right now until i get it tuned and then im gonna crank it up to about 8psi or untill i run out of fuel on the stock injectors. But so far i have over 500mi on it and no check engine light and it drives like stock when not under boost 
Here is a few pics i took......
Getting things mocked up to check for clearance issues.....
Front mount all mounted up....
Almost done...
Finished product..... (still need a couple of clamps and a new filter that matches)

I think the DaveH kit is better though, just has a uglier manifold..
Install looks good man, can't wait to go for a ride. Hopefully it doesn't give me the boost bug again lol..

So you set up the MAF on the IC piping and going to leave the turbo just hooked up a air filter correct?
A similar setup to a another member here who did that as a result of the car die dying from the MAF not compensating and car dying as it came to a stop as the RPMS dropped.
Careful with that setup...the turbulence could cause some harm to the MAF. You shoudl enjoy 7-8psi and just not get into MAF problems.
Your OBDII so a simple MAP ECU and a good tune will get you better results and a much more reliable car!
Wish i had OBDII! SAFC isn't my favorite approach but is what im left with at the moment for the obdI
Oh yeah and my car does not die even when the MAF is hooked before the turbo. YOu just gotta drive correctly. Dont punch it in first/second gear then throw in the clutch and let it roll in neutral....obviously its gunna drop RPM and most likely die.
oh and the Dec Air option on the SAFC II can have issues as some other members explain due to the intense air turbulace in the IC piping when boost is built.

I did a LOT of research before i decided on my setup and electronics and it shows as my car drives 100% like stock without a check engine light, this isn't my first turbo car and there is a HUGE difference between your OBD1 car and my OBD2 car. I wish my car was OBD1 because it would have been a lot easier and cheaper..........
If you want to do some research on OBD2 boosting my.is is a good place with a lot of knowledgeable people.
PS. My car is an automatic which is why i will be limiting boost to 7-8psi for now....
