Took a long time to finish, but I'm happy and excited to say it's finally tuned!!
I've never done any work on a car before this, so this was definitely a learning experience. Originally, I bought the kit as a nonrevup, but converted it to a revup. Being I've never owned an FI'd car before, I'm definitely pleased with it so far.

There's still some things I want to do, but in the immediate future I need to buy a clutch/flywheel and an oil cooler. I also have a set of Evo X Recaros I got from my friend for real cheap that I'll be installing soon.
Sorry, no photos yet. I'm still at Churchs but couldn't wait to post!

Just some photos to insert. Here's the wheels I'm picking up Friday. Not my photo, however that's the color I chose. I picked up a second set of TE37S to replace my current ones. Then I'll be selling the silver ones
Here's the seats I'm installing this weekend.
And here's how she sits now. The lip is scratched to hell from neglect and carelessness. No matter, as I'm taking it to the body shop next week, since some idiot backed into me in a drive thru.
Edit:
Found the actual photo i received from the Powdercoating shop

So I'm bumping this thread from the dead. Been two years since I got it tuned and it's still running fine. Haven't done much to it since; just did a low beam projector retrofit and picked up an ARC oil cooler off a part out.
Additionally, picked up a low mileage long block off the local marketplace and plan on building this on the side. Not planning on crazy numbers. Just a 2.87 pulley and a Ti Trim blower. Although there isn't as much activity on the boards anymore, I still really enjoy my car. And it only has 59K miles on the odometer.

Did you go with an IPP-build block? What compression ratio did you go with and are you on E85 or pump?
I'm planning on just 91 octane. That being said, I was talking with a friend of mine and I may end up just doing a 928 rebuild along with the 2.87 pulley. I don't need crazy power.
Built block, no cams witch sucks cuz id habe picked up like extra 100whp. Its choking up top. Im on e85 ti blower..with my engine i should have just kept the si and maxed it out. Without cams and head work you cant get the most out of the ti. I made max power at 17psi but i made 21 lbs total.
Picked up an ARC V2 catch can. I've been doing tons of searches and can't seem to find the consensus on how to run the catch can with a Vortech. Does anyone have an idea on how to run it? I don't want to start another thread for this seemingly simple topic.

i have a line in the manifold under the intake and the other is in the elbow i have coming off my supercharger. Im actually wanting to change it up to the pcv valce and valve cover on passenger side but for know it works.
