Good news chronos. Isn't it nice when everything starts working right for once?
I hope you have an ECU of some kind, or a kick *** boost controller if you're running the mp on a stock unit.

Thanks for all the support! I think I might have forgotten Mr. RX794 in the props list, thanks a bunch for all the help and suggestions bro! Glad you guys can all share in a little of my enthusiasm! 
I posted some pics of my engine and the ceramic seals (good shots if I do say so myself!) when the engine first arrived from Pineapple at that other shop I was using. I guess I can dig them up for this thread.
As for the dyno thing, the PowerFC I bought off some guy on the forum turned out to be a bad unit so I think I'm gonna install a haltech e6x and get the thing all nice and dialed in! I would estimate dyno graphs in about a month or so...For me though, it's not just the power that I'm stoked about, it's how god damn SMOOTH this thing runs!
Some of the things R & R was able to find for causes of the shitty vibration was a) Way wrong sized counterweight (the main cause) b) Some bolts not tightened down somewhere around the engine c) Something with the primary turbo d) They realized after looking at the clutch when it was taken off that it may have been installed backwards!
All these things just added up to make my car a harsh, shitty running ghost of what it really could be!
Anyways, here's the pics, I made it semi-dial up friendly! Enjoy

The last shot is of some Ianetti seals, mine were pineapple's own design, but same 2peice 3mm.
Also, if any of you local guys would like to see the car in action, I'll be racing a guy from my work with a viper sometime in the future after I get everything all squared away, that should produce some nice footage! I'll also be attending as many SCCA events as possible once the car's ready...A few organized canyon runs wouldn't be a bad idea either so long as people keep things under control!
