small update:
been working on some other things and haven't had a chance to update you guys on whats been going on with the build so my apologies for that. However there are a few things I did manage to do. the wiring is done and in the car however I am working on the interior wiring such as the gauges and my circuit box from Rowe Electronics I also had to wiring in the resistor balace for the injectors. I also managed to upgrade my waste gate with a universal waste gate from fr sport it holds 12 to 14 psi which is a lot better than the stock one and finishing up some wiring on my gauge panel I also managed to install my hood pins on the hood as well.... here are a few pics just to keep you guys in the loop
pics of the waste gate, turbo and the bracket I had to make for it

since im saving up and waiting for my dyno tune, I figured I would work on the body work and get that going. I got the body kit for free and I am truly grateful for it however it does have some cracks here and there so im going to attempt to fix them since I have been learning how to do fiberglass and bondo....
mocked up the rear fenders and side skirts just to see what it would look like
since I spaced the front wheels out, I had to modify the side skirts because when I turn the wheels it hits the side skirts so I decided to cut for clearance
so I then started to mark what needed to be repaired
I have some more pics of the repairs up soon...stay tuned

Good stuff, just got done reading the whole build thread. I also drift but have a s13.4 v8 coupe for drifting and build a 13b FC as a street car.
Kudos for doing all your own work.
What's this team you are on? is it for FD?
I like the PDM60 and looking into it. Where did you get the heat shrink for the wiring harness?
And how much HP you hoping to put down?

update on the car:
got the car running and made it to the dyno unfortunately there were a lot of small issues that caused us to run out of time mainly my fault for not checking and verifying the pats i had. The spacer that goes between the plenum and throttle was wrong causing a vacuum leak then the throttle bod butterflies wouldn't close all the way causing another leak my secondary injectors were leaking due to the grommets being to small so i had to run custom metal inserts so the injectors sit lower and top inserts so the fuel rail could reach. after all of that i finally got the idle down. the original manifold i gave to a friend and that one i got from someone else and i should have verified it but i didnt so the car was tuned for street driving with a 2lb boost cut. before i go back i wanna button up some more small issues so that the tune will go smoothly...i also painted the front end so that it could look a little more uniformed. pics soon to come
