It's coming along good. You will notice quite a bit of a difference just in how much more power the car has part throttle verus with the TTi kit. Off of a light, mine felt like it was going to stall out with the TTi kit compared to when it was N/A. With my custom kit it's pretty close to N/A feeling.
I really wish I had the $$ for a K-member, it frees up a ton of room... I also wish I had used a tangential exhaust housing.
Re: the spal fans, I have 2 12" pusher fans and though it's a tight fit, they work awesome! The 11" ones aren't far behind in cfm.... I hope you got the high-end ones? I just put spade connectors on the the wires and plugged them into the factory fan plugs. Another note, seal up top where the radiator and a/c are as air will go right through the condenser and out through the top without ever going through the radiator.... result is overheating.... ask me how I know.. he he. Also, I don't know how you are planning on running your cold side tubing, but keep the factory air damn. I removed mine and made a shorter one...... again the result was overheating on the highway as the damn wasn't long enough to direct air into the radiator.
As mentioned I highly recommend getting gas for your welder... I have the same one and the difference is night and day. Also, clean off any coating from the metal before welding. The aluminized tubing I was using looked horrible if I tried to weld through the coating.
I wish you luck with the storm coming through.... I just got back from the beach and you could tell it was coming.
