Just for fun I tallied yo the total costs so far, excluding wheels and tires. Little over budget, but that’s okay. I could have some some money with the on board air and ebc, neither really needed on this car.

Well knock on wood, I think I have everything I need, either on it’s way or in house. I ordered my feed fittings, and all associated parts, a pair of k&n filters RE-0870 which measure 9” long by 6” around, hoping one on each turbo won’t be a restriction at all. Ordered another set fastronixs relays like I have on my nova, and the brake line fittings

Some might not dig it, but it saved me about $600 and it’s strong as hell.

Well I’m down to drive down there and help you for a weekend or something, but it’s going to be a bit. Got a lot on my plate the next few months unfortunately

Getting to that stage where you work all night and can’t tell where you did anything. I hate that stage.

Finished all of my trans wiring , extended the 60e plug and added the second vss, did my trans brake” wiring (aka sloppy spool mod), so trans and under side of the car is done. Now I gotta hook it to my boost controller and look the wires

Welded up my hotside permanently on the driver side, ran out of c25 for the pass side, go figure. Wastegates are all done, timing cOver removed and bungs installed for the oil drains.

You don't need bracing in my opinion, you kept everything pretty short off of the manifolds so I think it will hold up.
