The Bremebos are massive. Should have no problem hauling this monster down from speed. All the while, leaving the excellent Stabilatrak and ABS/Traction control in place.
I got a call today from Lonnie at Lonnies Performance. The fuel tank is on its way back to us after his triple pump upgrade package. Everything is moving along nicely.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. 
Haha!
Right on! It really is a good deal for the performance provided.
We'll find out, I've done my best to prepare him mentally. He needs to stay on low boost for a long time and learn the car on a manageable level.
They'll be here in a week or two, they're going to look great on the car.

Haha! They're baby compressor covers, it wouldn't be impressive... But I can lie and say we're putting a billet 114mm on it, and fit a soda can into the inlet sideways if you'd like.

The belly of the beast (i.e. John Marcella intake manifold)...
Injector Dynamics ID1000 high-impedance 1,000cc injectors in place...
(this picture turned out cool, I just wanted to share, haha)
Fabrication masters Ben Salasko (our in-house tuner) and Chris Polanski (our company President) working on the turbocharger system fabrication...

The fuel tank arrived back from Lonnies Performance today, he turned this around QUICK, a pleasure to deal with as always...
(apologies, I took four pictures of this, and they all came out blurry... Damn camera)
The fuel tank reinstalled...
Crawford and Ben Salasko getting the rear subframe and suspension back in place...
The stock wheels in comparison to the Brembo brakes...
The car getting back to a rolling state...
The new intercooler core mocked up in place...

Haha, the technicians are killing it for sure, we couldn't ask more from them.
The car down for the first time on the new suspension/braking system...
The ride height's still around .75"-1.00" too tall in the rear, once it comes down to where it should be, you can see how perfect the suspension geometry will be (i.e. the relation of the rear-lower control arm's angle to the ground)...

You guys are not wasting any time.... Looks great so far.
Glad the tank arrived safely.
Please give me a call to discuss the testing/setup of the fuel system as there are a few oddities when using the the pulse width modulated system in conjunction with an adjustable regulator.
