Glad to see it all came together, you've had a lot of ups and downs with that car!

Well All I can say is that I would not necessarily say it was MY fault everyone else’s builds took soo long... if anything I have been waiting the longest... But that is neither here nor there at the moment. She was running pretty good when I had her last weekend.
Mike should put together a solid tune on the stock boost, from there we shall see where we will go.
I have a lot of driving to do very soon, so reliability is paramount.
As for cost, yea, I have more then 20 in the build of the engine alone, and probably another 20 in the all important supporting mods.

Thanx man....i'm one of few that should be hitting the streets with that "set-up" by then....already sourced a motor, stand-alone and a few other goodies to make her a fun lil car to punish. Should be a fun time if we can all make it to the track by then.

well, I got her back today after Mike@AAM put some time on the dyno and on the street with my Baby...
Here is what we have so far
Low Boost: 483 whp/ 418 ftlbs @8 PSI
High Boost: 517 whp/ 444 ftlbs @12 PSI
The RevLimiter is now set to well above 7,600 and the dyno pulls were stopped roughly around 7,300 RPM
She drives really well. One of the things I noticed was that it pulls pretty hard, but it is a very nice smooth feeling, not quite like the JWT, but much smoother then the stock GReddy kit. Also, since we upgraded the Turbos, then spool up about 750 rpm then before. I used to say the boost was in full throttle by 3250rpm, but now it feels more like around 3750 - 4000 rpm before it just throws you in your seat..
All in all; the car drives well, feels solid and I am looking forward to putting some miles on her in the coming weeks. Then after a month of North South adventures, we can come back and see about cranking that boost up another 10 PSI or more.

Jeez....I do remember a certain individual that works here telling you that the stock turbos at 15psi would have been more than sufficient with the motor and power goals you had...that would have also saved you a couple of bux....but the 700 series turbos are BAD ***...so enjoy and crank the boost. Congrats Brent!!! Now drive up to NY for our annual moutain run in the 23rd.
