Looks pretty good! How much boost? What are your manifolds made of? and have you dyno'd yet? BTW, is that a SLP cold-air intake? if it is...that's pretty clever!

We'll find out soon... Still needs some tuning, but it runs and drives at least. It'll be fully tuned as soon as my FAST box comes back (had some issues with the box and I have a loaner one on there now).

planning to run 10-20psi depending on what I'm in the mood for. Normal cruising will probably be 10psi, but I can just hit a few buttons on the eboost2 to change my mood.

The manifolds are mild steel logs. 2.5" passenger side log, 2.5" crossover, 3" driver side log, and 3" downpipe. The wastegate hangs off the crossover pipe and vents to atmosphere. I'll post a pic in a few...

oops. forgot to answer... Yeah, it's a SLP CAI, grafted on the ATI twin-high-flows and the TiAL flange welded on.

Might have overboost/creep issues with the gate like that... at least it looks like it. Nice damn car and setup though.

RealQuick did the hotparts in his garage. I took care of the engine, cold side, and rest of the stuff so that we'd finish about the same time (he still beat me by a few months).

it's the old (classic) box. It wouldn't see the low-res signal from the opti at all... showing 0 rpm while cranking. therefore, it wouldn't trigger the injectors or spark. I borrowed a box from Jon (RealQuick) to troubleshoot. I unplugged mine, plugged his in, dropped the base tune in, and his fired right up.

I hope not, but it's in the back of my head... i'm actually more worried about the ATI twin high-flows being able to flow enough air and not be a bottleneck.

There are some compromises with this setup because I didn't want to ditch accessories or hack up my front bumper.

damn, that's a clean setup. any closer pics of the fuel rails and regulator you could email me? i'm about to work on the fuel side of mine. i've got plenty of fuel at 20psi w/ the dual walbros and stock lines w/ 72# injectors, but i'm about to upgrade to be on the safe side. also, are you gravity draining the turbo or do you have a pump? we've got pretty similar setups.

Here's a few pics of the pumps (before putting the hose clamps on the pump outlets) and fuel rails... I went overkill on the wiring

Also, I used a few extra fittings on the rails to keep the FRP as close to the front as possible to keep the STB running behind it. You can get by with a lot less fittings or using some hard line bent around to accomplish the same thing:
