U r getting way over the point la.. 1st thing 1st, is 2 just get a turbo kit & run it at low boost to see how everything goes. If I were u, I will plan my mod in stages:
Stage 1 Boost 0.3-0.5
Bolt on turbo kit.
Custom manifold
Custom downpipe
Whole exhaust works
Install SAFC or any other fueling control.
Stage 2 Boost 0.6 - 0.8
Lower Compressions
change to thicker manifolds.
Upgrade fuelling:
Upgrade fuel pump to increase overall fuel pressure
Fuel regulator to hold ur fuel pressure in check.
Retune SAFC
Stage 3 Boost 1.0 +++
These is the maniac stage.
Basically any other thing that money can buy. When u proceed to this stage, u should know very well urself what ur car needs.
To answer ur question, SAFC is quite easy to set up & use. I learned how to set up mine from the manuals. Basically, u can tune the SAFC without a dyno. Whats important is that u have some way to check ur A/F ratio to make sure that ur fuelling is not too lean (the easiest way blow ur engine). If it's 2 rich, u can see the black smoke from ur exhaust. But dyno's are a whole lot more accurate & u will have a better idea on ow much power ur getting.
