2006 EVO IX MR (Daily Driver)... GOALS: looking for reliable and spirited street and highway driving.

I am planning to upgrade my FP Green to FP Red in the near future. Current mods include: HKS MIVEC cams, 1000cc RC injectors, HKS Hi Power muffler, downpipe, fuel rail, Full Race manifold, HKS DLI II, intake w/cone filter, FMIC, upper & lower FMIC pipes, ECU boost control, GM boost solenoid, E-85, Walbro 225 fuel pump, Titek O2 housing, ACT HDSS clutch with fly wheel, AEM meth injection w/ 91 only, ECU tuned with map switching.

I am considering the following mods:

- MAP Stainless Steel O2 Eliminator Downpipe for Evolution 9 (w TiAL)
- TiAL Q Blow-off Valve (replace stock Evo IX MR BOV)
- FP RED Turbocharger Evo IX (Upgrade) with 80mm surge port, ported
- Buschur Racing Double Pumper Fuel System w/Dual Fuel Feed Line Kit
- Evolution 1200cc Fuel Injectors
- Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pressure Regulator w/ MAP FPR INSTALL KIT

MAP website says "Remove the internal wastegate flapper from your turbocharger, enlarge the wastegate discharge and bolt up one of these bad boys for the best boost control and elimination of boost creep available!"

Has anyone done this with the FP Red? Thoughts?

Also, the MAP website states, "We use the .9 bar spring pressure for most applications, if you would like a different spring pressure please specify in the notes section of the checkout page!"

Would the .9 bar spring be recommended for the FP Red running E-85 with about 30 PSI of boost?

Is a fuel pressure regulator recommend with this planned setup?

I love my HKS MIVEC cams.... idle is stock. However, would you expect much gains from GSC S2? How about idle and "drivability"?

Thanks for any inputs...
