Used M1s can be had for cheaper than the Air Gap..

I also wouldn't even consider using the stock PCM, it was never meant to be boost aware and has many shortcomings.

Above 10PSI a good set of headgaskets and ARP bolts isn't a bad idea.

If you're doing a rear mount then manifold doesn't matter. There's only a couple companies that make single turbo hot sides for these engines, PIE and TTI, expect to spend $3k on a hot side if you want a front mount and can't make one yourself. Mine was custom built by another Dakota guy who hardly used it and was passed around to others who never used it, so I got a good deal.

I recommend MS3X for standalone/piggyback tuning.

You gonna buy a kit? Or fabricate your own and let MS control it?

I bought just the pump and tank from someone online and I just ordered a nozzle, tubing and fittings, MS will control it but I'm not sure if I'm going to do it progressively by PWMing the pump or just on/off. The spare injector drivers can handle the pump current but the pumps are said to induce some decent noise into the MS, we'll see.
