looking good 
did you go for a na style port now?
How much does your new turbo weigh now with the billet plate and tial housing????? I've got a gt42r i can weigh for comparison if you haven't done that already.
I hope your taking some dyno vids

Its a good 20lbs lighter. Ray bridgeported it, but did it a bit differently thats been yielding alot more power than prior. Should be interesting.

Nice Tial Rear housing and manifold its a beauty Ernie!!
Ignore the comments about Twin Scroll yadda yadda The Tial design is superior for flow, there is a reason why HKS have the same design
they dont spend masses of money in R&D for nothing

Atkins corner seals
This is a new motor as well. Previous motor had Atkins one piece corner seals. BAD IDEA. FYI. Use stock corner seals or NRS ceramic. This engine is bridgeported once again. This time Ray did some things a bit different NRS one piece ceramic 3mm apex seals and NRS ceramic corner seals. Can't say enough good things about the NRS products! Thanks again to Ray for sticking with it and getting my gremlins out of the ignition system. New ignition consists of 4 Blaster SS coils and AEM CDI. Workin like a charm....Dyno this week!

I'll post this AGAIN, it's not proven that these housings flow any better than divided housings. Their benefits are weight savings and mounting versatility. Beautiful pieces none the less. You can erase this again if you feel it wasn't complimentary enough, as you have twice already. I'll just keep reposting it, Ive got nothing better to do Ernie.

Performance Veteran...
Ernie your selling your car?? Say it ain't so... 
Also, are you planning on running/dynoing her again on the new turbo/set-up to 42+psi?? As someone mentioned i think at that boost level you should do low 800's with ease... I'm (as are many others here*) very excited to see the reliability of the NRS seals with ur new corner seals as well at the 40+psi on both the dyno and the track.... keep the updates coming brotha!

Your intercooler piping size is very interesting. Looks like 2.5" from the turbo. Now I know alot of people talking that with the GT42 you need to go 3". I'm sure you know better..can you shine some light on this for me please..
