I'm not sure what "not alot of money" means... $500? $50? $5?
The boost creep is expected with the mitsu and wide open exhaust. Is this your daily driver? I would look at getting a garrett to replace the mitsu. If your budget doesn't allow that, I would think a 2.5" cat-back system would be fine with the mitsu. A 3" system will definitely give you the boost creep with a stock mitsu. If you want to plan ahead and spend the money on the 3", you will want to port the wastegate hole in the turbine housing. I've never had to deal with a mitsu, but apparently this is one way to run higher-flowing exhaust with it. I guess the Mitsu has a smaller WG hole than the garrett, and thats what makes the exhaust prefer to flow through the turbine instead of the wastegate when there is little or no back-pressure in the downpipe. I personally think that is too much horsing around just to use the mitsu. Plus the fact you want to race against S2000s and Mustangs. I say go get a garrett(87+ would work, 89+ would be choice) and leave your exhaust open if the cops don't care about your noise. the mitsu spools quick off the line, but it gives up too much too soon... its not for winning races
which O2 do you have? the 3 or 4 wire? you can do a search here, but I wanna say the black wire is for signal... you'll have 2 wires for the pre-heater, If you have an ohmeter you can figure out which are for the heater circuit and which is the "extra ground"(if you have a 4 wire). Whatever is left over should be your signal.
