Default 01 SS modding continues. Input?

Ok so I picked up a bone stock 30k mile 01 SS last month. My goal is to turn her into a 600whp daily driver that looks the part.
Mods so far:
Fikse FM5'S w 315's out back
BMR Springs and panhard bar
Volant intake
Speed Engineering LT's w off road X
Magnaflow catback w modified dumps (not pictured)
Motive Gear 3.73's w TA cover
Stereo being installed

Question...today I ordered a BMR Turbo K Member w manual rack provisions and also of course a BMR manual rack. Anything I need to know before jumping in? Things I should consider? My goal to start is probably to do a small single turbo kit (Huron) and drive it.

...another question. I was looking under the hood and assessing the power steering pump removal and whatnot. Looking at the belt routing....how the hell do you remove the power steering pump..reservoir..and pulley and still route the belt? **** is not adding up in my head. Thanks in advance!

Wow crickets up in this ****. It seems like Iv done 3 hours of research on the power steering pump removal with very little concrete info on how to properly route the belt and still get some wrap on the water pump. Looks like I'll be trial and error in this **** and making my own thread.
On a better note I started my rear tail panel black out this evening. All is coming along famously. I hope to have pics of the finished product in the am.

Finished the Berger panel and tail lights today. I know it's not for everyone. I'm waiting on my new rear SS emblem as well.
The rear panel was easier to remove than I thought and I'll probably pick up some LED rear bulbs to help shine thru the Night Shades.

Damn you. I almost bought that car but couldn't trust myself not to start modding the hell out of it. Well............ Great looking car. I guess we can say goodbye to another unmolested low mile 02 SS. Lol
