Logan has done a great job to get everything up and running. He's slowly breaking in the car as we speak. The car is still getting the much needed finishing and polish that it's never gotten.
Logan will be dyno'ing the car fairly soon with the current setup, and if time/parts work out, another dyno shortly after with an upgraded billet turbo by in the next couple of weeks or so.

That's when the car was first put together, it had a big boost leak, we couldn't even get 10 psi on the dyno..
wonderfull project!

Thanks, guys.
Finally getting ready to be shipped back next to me next week. I can't wait, it's been about a year and half in this latest round of work...
Have some in progress photos from a few months ago that I'll post shortly..

Some pics of the build, they are from a few months back. Will add new ones once I get the car back soon.

yeah, got the car back... Only to have it sit in another local shop for the past month. It's getting a few small tweaks gone over, just some small tweaks that makes it a little more easier to enjoy/maintain.
Once that's done, it'll go straight onto a dyno for some fine tuning.
It's that just in my experience that all projects and shops run late, so one needs a lot of patience doing a project on this scale. At this point, it's probably no more than a month or two to be 99% done.

Car is for sale, I'm just getting realistic about being able to continue to polish the project (~98% there), and being able to make the time for track events.

I may consider selling just the engine package (engine, ECU, harness, turbo), but definitely would like to see if someone would like to buy the car as is first.
