Exclamation BIG INSTALL and now a few questions...please help!

OK, I recently installed A LOT of parts on my car...


NEW MODS:

-Superzilla 20G from Deadbolt
-Perrin FMIC
-Perrin Turbo inlet hose
-Perrin short ram intake
-Modded Stock Uppipe (for ext. wastegate)
-TiAL 38mm external wastegate with dump pipe
-walbro 255 lph fuel pump

PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED MODS:

-TurboXS catless turboback
-Turboxs UTEC
-WorxTuning Dual Stage BOV

after i cranked the car 10 times to feed the turbo, I started her up and she idles ok...it'll kinda try to die sometimes, but catches itself.

It also began to idle in a kind of "blippy" way...revs would go up to about 1.5k and then drop...

but of course I have a CEL that comes on and stays on as soon as I start the car.

(my battery is disconnected so the ecu is resetting, if the CEL pops again im gonna get it
pulled at AutoZone, otherwise Im driving it to Central Florida Turbo, under vacuum...)

Anyway, another thing I noticed is that when I have the ignition on "accessory" (the gauges do their little dance, etc.) there's a weird whirring noise in the engine bay
accompanied with a clicking noise which uncannily resmbles the sound of a processor (like when a computer is "thinking")

Also, we had a hell of a time figuring out how to connect the lines to the external wastegate.

As it is this is how we have it set up:

-The nipple on the compressor housing is connected to a T by vacuum line.
-That T splits to the bottom nipple on the wastegate and then to the MBC and stock boost solenoid which are connected with a Y.

After reading all of that, does anybody have any suggestions or comments?
