I have been driving the car daily since Sep 7th and couldn't be any more please with its performance and driving.
It starts on the first turn of the key and gets decent gas mileage
My only complaint would be the drag radials in the rain!
The car will probably be parked next week to go to the next step of upgrades...
Now that it is fully functional changing out parts (cam, heads, trans) will be fairly simple and the car will be ready next spring.

Most of the piping/flanges are ordered and I am going to start putting it together
I'll try to keep a good documentation of the turbo build

I used dynatech headers when it was NA
Here is the new progress
Here is the turbo mount. It's built out of 3/8" so it isn't going anywhere
It still gives clearance for the downpipe with the truck accesories but I am putting Camaro waterpump and relocating the alternator to the pass side
Going to try to work on the hotside this weekend as I have all the parts (minus the WG that was ordered today)

Finished up the passenger side
Still need to order the pipe for the wastegate which should be in quickly and to get the downpipe done
I got the f-body waterpump and still have to swap the balancer out which will be done when the cam is installed
