So I made some progress on this, but it may be some time before another update will happen. I had an impromptu trip to the US, and had a day to test fit some things. I needed to mount up the turbo so the guy making my manifold (GleaseMan) will know if his jig needs to be adjusted, which it will, but it should be a simple change. The turbo sits a little high, and the hood cant close. I've gotta say I like the way it looks. Should be an easy adjustment for him. This is a borg warner S480sx with a 1.10 T4 housing.
I'm also going to have the intake manifolds powdercoated and the engine bay repainted before it goes in for the final setup.
I also got some other things sorted out. I'll be using a Haltech Elite 2500, and since it can, to clean things up I'll be going DBW with an LS3 throttle body. This will give also give me idle speed control via the ecu.
The motor is mounted with the full Xcessive setup. The mounts brackets, mounts, I have the oil pan, which I didn't swap yet because I haven't changed the front cover to the FD cover I plan to use. I have the short xcessive LIM, and the subframe mod kit with heims, which I haven't done the change for yet.
I've also ordered a slew of parts from FFE. My rails, trigger setup (Hall), oil pedestal, and the LS3 throttle body adapter should be here Wednesday, along with the LS3 Camaro Throttle pedal, which will mount up with help from Justin Samberg's mount.
LMS-EFI is underway on my harness, which will make not only the swap, but the DBW change simple. I hope it only takes two or three months when I return to get it up and running.

Thanks, I plan to do as much as I can to clean it up, but it does get run hard, so I'll only put a functional amount of effort into it. Its certainly not a show car, but I want it to look good for a car that goes to the track once a week...

Before I pulled the 13b, and moved to Germany, I did hammer out a couple of 6.8x's on the EFR9180 setup. One of which, was against a Challenger Hellcat:

This is only number 4 if you include the stock twins. Unless that counts as two.
I had:
Stock Turbos (2-rotor)
Precision 6266 (2-rotor)
Borg Warner EFR 9180 (2-Rotor)
Borg Warner S480sx (3-Rotor) (almost)
maybe the 80mm will be enough... maybe we go to a 90 haha.

It looks kind of dull in that picture, but it pops very, very hard, too. I had the brakes and the intake manifolds done by a friend, and I couldnt be happier with how they turned out. I need to put some fresh rotors on it to really do the brakes justice before I post pics of that lol.
I'd reaaaaaaaally love a set of those red (spirit R?) Recaros like you have, but... well.... i've tapped the budget for a short bit finishing the car up. I need to pull it all and have the engine bay painted, and do some reupholstery or new seats inside, and it will be good.
I've been slowly sorting the tune. I really really like the elite 2500. It just works well, is very intuitive. The car already does extremely well and I'm very early in tuning-time into it.
