Currently I have a Spoon Sports 63mm test pipe and exhaust.
Is that a bad idea to run with the Greddy turbo stock basemap?
If so, why? I'm a noobie with turbo!
I'm not really concerned about the performance aspect at this point with that setup, I'm more concerned if my motor will blow up or relilability issues. Would there be problems running a test pipe? Am I better off running the stock cat w/ the Spoon exhaust, or I'll be fine with the test pipe and exhaust?

Looking to order several things now to add onto what the kit is missing.
First up, BOV and Flange:
BOV: http://www.sportcompactonly.com/GReddy/Blo...-19_p-17988.htm
Flanges: 19mm - http://www.sportcompactonly.com/GReddy/Blo...b-19_p-1199.htm
32mm - http://www.sportcompactonly.com/GReddy/Blo...-19_p-63602.htm
Question, which Flange do I need? 19mm or 32 mm? Also, is this a good price (click the links). Thanks.
And Lastly, My Hood, think it can cause problems with water draining in?

You need this flange. The ones you listed above are for recirculation (I think). Problem is there's not much descriptions on the website to tell what they are.
The two links you have for the UEGO gauges are different in that one comes with the wideband senosr and the other does not. Again, this website sucks in listing model #'s so its difficult to see what other differences there are.
In terms of pricing, be sure to call some shops/sponsors here. If your lucky you'll find one that even beats EBAY's prices.

So why is everyone running the stock cat with Greddy basemap and then the test pipe when time to retune?
What kind of problems would occur if installing a test pipe with Greddy basemap?

air fuel ratio would change enough that the basemap would not be able to compensate for it...which could be VERY BAD...possibly boom!
Even at 10 psi and a Berk high flow cat my base map was very rich - 10.2:1. A test pipe flows only about 10% better. At the normal 7-8psi boost, base map, and upgraded exhaust, I'd bet money its still rich. Try it at your own risk
