Turbo is in and car runs!
Awesome, you should. Don't tell anyone on s2katlanta that you're coming, then change your "Guess Justin's hp" estimate in Modifry's contest thread and you'll win! 
BTW I can't believe all the people guessing in the 300s, if I DON'T hit 400 on 15 pounds I'm going to yell at my car and then stab myself.

^Thanks Luis, it's about damn time huh? 
I'm going to try and start her up tonight after I get the GM 3bar map wired in. If so, I'll limp it home and off to the tune shop Friday!!!

You should be fine.
Update!
Went over tonight to my installer's, and we got the car running! HUGE THANKS to Timg for the two maps that he sent me for 1000cc injectors.
We uploaded the stock map sensor map and fired it up, and let it idle for 30 minutes. The car idled VERY well, almost like stock. We checked for leaks, and aside from lots of smoke (misc. oils, coolant, new turbo blanket over the turbo), the car seemed like it was ready to go. We rode around, and the partial throttle settings were very smooth. Partial throttle was nice and stock-like up to 8K. However, as soon as we tried to spool the turbo the car would break up and just chug-a-lug sorta - I'm guessing it's the map sensor? We only have it set for like 3 or 4 pounds I think. In any case, it's no biggie.
The car is running great under partial throttle as I mentioned, and tomorrow morning my mechanic is picking me up from my house, driving to the other installer's house (where my car is), and wiring in the GM 3bar map sensor and serial gauge, and then driving over to Mainstream Performance and hitting the dyno! He's taking a day off of work to make sure that he's there for me while we dyno - great to know you are cared about and that there are good mechanics out there.
I'll keep you updated with my dyno sheet and photos/videos tomorrow
