4l60E's have really come a long way with rebuilds that can handle power. I feel like even just 10 years ago that kinda juice would've had to of had a 4l80 behind it, or a cost prohibitive boutique 4l60. That's a really cool setup for the dump pipe on the turbo, nice manners on the street and a screamer with a flip of a switch. Sounds like you modified the old school electric dumps concept to your turbo setup, pretty cool. Custom stuff like that I find really interesting, because it's unique and thinking outside the box. Not that there's anything wrong with off the shelf stuff, but those aren't things that generate conversations in the pit or at car shows. The most exotic things on my c5 are I mashed together some trashed 3lt c6 seats I got of FB for 150 with some 1lt 2013 c6 seats and did a re-dye on them in Ford King Ranch along with the door panels, glove box, and knee bolster. The oak tan was okay, but it's a dime dozen factory color and the 2013 seats needed re-died anyways.
I'd contemplated looking at doing something hybrid with the terminator x and stock p59 to maintain factory functions, but didn't research it for fear that I'd decide I needed to do it. The limitations of the p59 with having to trick it for bigger injectors, the low resolution maps on 2 bar, and other misc stuff is kind of a bummer to work around. So, I've mixed feelings on seeing you're running both successfully lol.

4" to 3" split pipe
4" cutout that we welded to the end to go out the fender, it was only tacked here but it welded out and wrapped with exhaust wrap and painted with high temperature black silicone spray paint.
