Ok, I live in NC (125 ft above sea level)
I run 93 Octane fuel
Boost set at 16.5 (spikes 17)
hacked MAF
K&N filter
SAFC II (stock settings)
2.5" exhaust
stock turbo and motor

I haven't set any correction on the SAFC, and it doesn't show any knock... I didn't know if I'd need a DSMLink or anything like that to tune it initially, I do have plans to pick one up, but money is tight right now...
My A/F gauge shows the car rich when I get on it, and it sweeps when I cruise, so I'm guessing everything is ok, but I know that the O2 sensor is too slow to use it to tune... so any suggestions? tips?
First, I'm pretty sure, well atleast for 2g's, but the knock signal on the safc doesn't work for our cars. Second, don't trust the blinky light-show on that Autometer A/F gauge UNLESS you are running a wideband o2 sensor. Other than that, there isn't much else to tune, since you haven't really messed around with the fuel. You should get a datalogger, or like you said, DSMLink soon to see what kind of things are going on inside your ecu to help you tune it.
