I spent way too much money so I could have my very own build thread.

Small update for today. We finished up suspension and brakes all around, but still have to do the diff mounts. We'll probably save that until we do the clutch so we have a lift. Hopefully that will make life not suck quite as bad. 
We also tore down most of the stock turbo stuff, and did a halfway mock of the turbo manifold. Man that thing is shiny! 
Anyway. Here's a few pictures, sorry for the quality. Hopefully I'll get better ones in the next few days.
Anybody know there was paint back there!?
Turbo manifold mock (don't mind it hanging on the stud, I just wanted a little teaser pic)
Car at the end of today.

Damn man....you'll be just like me now! Haha I have the same size drag radials too! Just run twin walbro's...mine are going on almost 7 years. When done right there is no problem. Glad you didn't give up on the car

Re: fuel injectors..... I agree that a GZ LIM will be a great addition to your build, but you should have no problems making mid 500s with four injectors. I'm running 870/1680 Bosch top feeds (KG parts system) and at 21 psi/~500 rwhp seeing around 80 to 82% injector duty cycle. Consider the GZ LIM more for the equal length runners and lack of emissions/block off plates.
Best of luck
Edit: Should have mentioned the most important part, the FJO Injector Driver. Negates the need for resistors and allows your injectors to function efficiently, before I had this wired in I had nothing but headaches from my fuel system.

Wastegate is in! Only snag so far is the new intercooler duct hitting the radiator shroud. A lot of people have hit this problem, with only vague instructions on how to fix it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be lowering the radiator to clear, and I'll make a straightforward thread with pictures of how to do that. Hopefully it would benefit members in the future.
PS I got a charger for the camera, so no more doo doo iPhone pictures. You're welcome.

another vote for the ID injectors, 2200cc saturated high impedance injectors, no resistors, no fjo injector driver, nothing but a winning scenario. Build looks great, can't wait to see what you throw down at the track/dyno.

Very, very small update. I've been working and/or too tired to mess with the car much...Turbo is mocked up, and I need to order a couple more things, of course. lol Here's a picture though, we all like those. Looks like I'll be rerouting a few things.

It cooled off so I came home for a few days to work on the car. I've got the radiator lowered...It wasn't a big deal. I thought it would be for some reason. Anyway, intercooler is mocked up now. I just need a pipe to fit it to the turbo. I'll continue tomorrow! Picture
