Or am I safe to turn up the boost when I want to go fast

What ratio should the mixture usually be at, if I decide to go with the regulators and of course I will have to buy and install a wideband with a gauge

Thanks!
That's a mighty strange set of upgrades. Why didn't you install a downpipe, per 'bpu' specifications? Which fuel cut defender are you using - a GReddy BCC I hope. What about adjustable cam gears, per bpu+++ specs? For bpu, an aftermarket exhaust is unnecessary (unless that upgrade was just for looks). Oh, and that cold air intake was a waste of money unless it cut through the 'shelf' for the oem airbox. Note: The oem intake box is already cold-air, so drop in a K&N filter and you're done.

What kind of fuel do you plan to run with 17psi of boost? That's too high, even for 93 octane pump gas.

Your oem maf, ecu, and O2 sensors will ensure your a/f is correct. Your problem with being "safe" is insufficient octane, not a/f.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
