Freakin' sweet. I want one.
You say this is an REW? So you took a 3rd gen engine, put an -SE front cover and CAS in and mounted it that way?
What all did you do to get this thing from it's original state to where it is now? I *so* wanna hear the story, I've got a friend who'd love to do this to his!

I used to have an S4 TII motor in this car, and used a 12a front cover on it as well. When drilling the original -SE front cover that came with the car, it cracked. I was freaking out until I found the 12a front cover works just as well.

Yea people use the 12A if there gonna run premix because the 12A OMP only has 2 lines and the SE OMP has 4 lines. Thats the only other major difference.

Very Nice!! I likey the bling bling!! I need to clean mine up...dammit.
For what's its worth, I maxed out my 63-1 turbo at 21psi (redline), and did 492, and later 507 (with the wastegate forced shut)
My engine might have a higher volume efficiency than yours, so I need a bigger turbo to feed it, to reach its potential.
The REW has smaller ports and runners, so you should be able to hit your goal easier than I did.

Thats how I got started. My TII died in a fire, and I dumped everything worthwhile into my -SE. This is the second turbo motor I've had in this car.

Regarding the differences between the 12A and SE front covers, if premixing or installing an engine that uses the electronic mop, either cover works fine. If doing a direct/stock mop install with an S4 TII, one needs the SE covers since it has the 4 line mechanical mop.

I'm more worried about the front cover cracking and falling apart, or the tiny piece of aluminum holding the tranny tailshaft to the -SE cross-member coming apart. You should have seen the rear mount I made after a year or so running around with 300hp. It flattened it!

hmm, is directfreak's mounting the same way? i know this is how everyone pretty much does it, but i haven't seen many that are making enough power to really put worry in 
300 is nice, don't get me wrong but 400+ (which you should make on the new engine) will yank a little harder

1) You may have to drill and tap two new holes in the front iron to mate the GSL-SE oil pan.
2) Figure out the fuel setup you're going to use in advance, and don't just expect to use TII style injectors. Either keep the stock side-feed injectors, or buy a set of domestic style injectors and KGparts rails. Do your homework!
3) You'll have to figure out the oil-filler neck on your own. So far I haven't found a good solution. At this point I'm considering just putting a freeze plug with a vent on it, and using the dipstick tube to put my oil in.
Take your time and enjoy. With patience and a valid credit card, you'll get it done.

If you're worried about the stress, RB makes a torque brace that attaches with the bolts that mate the tranny to the engine. for the price of the unit it may provide you with some cheap insurance that will provide any windup/twisting that ay occur between the motor and tranny mounts.
