Nice work!
wish you woulda posted something like this a few months ago before i had my car rebuilt, i've always wanted a PP turbo setup, but most people seem reluctant to fabricate it. good luck!

are you going to be filling the coolant areas where the PP sleeves are?
it seems like you might have issues with boost leakage if you don't, but i don't actually have experience, i'm just speculating

Fantastic write-up and pics.

Zero, those pics are sick! I hope my stuff turns out half as good as that! Almost makes me think I should have went bigger... 
For now I will be running two gasoline 1000cc primaries, two gasoline 1600cc secondaries, and two methanol 1000cc secondaries. The coolant jacket will be filled with aluminum Devcon. The e-shaft and transmission are what should be holding me back power-wise. Two very expensive upgrades that I cannot afford right now, maybe next year when I graduate.
I should have the velocity stack half of the intake manifold welded up and ported this weekend.

Couldn't you make your own e shaft, maybe cut an Rx8 e shaft in half and add a bearing in the center.
Would it be possible too add a bearing to the center of a 1 piece eshaft, something like a 2 piece plain bearing?

i could see mabey lathing of one of sides of the e-shaft with a keyway in it. then adding a bearing there. then take a second e-shaft and cut off one of the lobes, drill a hole through it, and put a keyway on that as well
i could see it working if you got it balanced afterwards

Not a whole lot of progress last week.
Wasted an entire night trying to rework some shitty 5" aluminum tubing I bought from Airflo.com. They had a cheap price on it and it looked decent in their picture, but what I got was complete ****. Tubing was way out of round and had a nasty weld seam. I made a mandrel to press through it to make it round, but the grooves in it were too deep to sand out. Finally said screw it after 3-4 hours of wasted time and dropped the $70 for a foot of tubing from Burns Stainless.
I got the holes bored in the TB block. Rough drilled the thru holes, then bored to size. CNC'd the barrel holes.
Finally able to inspect my new turbo! Left turbo is a GT4202:
