I will be working on a website in the near future, but for now have a look at the build:

There are a ton of pictures, and it's a lengthy rad but should answer any questions that you may have. If it doesn't just ask away.

Wow; I managed to make it through both build threads, and I think what you're doing is very exciting. I like the ease of installation, the accessibility of the system, and I love that you're 400 miles away (I'm in Moose Jaw) and that you're using Osiris, which I already have. I think I'd just need to upgrade from Standard to Tuner. Any progress with Uprev regarding a base tune to include with your kit?
Couple of other questions; how much of the stock exhaust are you replacing? It appears you're replacing everything back to and including the y-pipe; is that accurate? I have a Motordyne exhaust, and I'm trying to figure out if their cat/resonator could be put in, but it occupies the space where the y-pipe collector normally is, so I don't think it would fit between the turbo and the midpipe.
My son is an apprentice mechanic with plans to move into tuning and high-performance work as he builds his business; he thinks I should be buying the kit for him to install purely as an educational exercise
I guess it would be the selfless thing for me to do...
Anyway, great work. I am interested, and will probably be at Stratotech some time this season for a Time Attack or 2; any chance of seeing you and your car out at any of those events?

The kit requires one to remove the catalytic and the OEM Y-pipe, the turbo down pipe bolts to the same spot the Y pipe bolts to for the rest of the way. I am running a Megan racing 3" knock off. I paid $250 for the exhaust with shipping, and really like it. Boost comes on at 2850rpm and I get full boost by 3150rpm (8psi). I did a quick search on the Motordyne exhaust, and it looks like the kit would bolt right up to that. So I think you are set there.
On the Uprev side, I have not talked to them yet about a base map. It has been a very busy week at home and work. I have a guy that brought his G35 over for a week for me to test fit the kit on. So that it priority this weekend.
I also agree with you, you need to be selfless, your son needs the experience...
I have not been out to Stratotech yet, but may try it this year…see how things go. I would like to upgrade my brakes and cooling before going for it...but that is a few $$$ that I don't have at this time. Most of my money now is going towards purchasing turbos, wastegates, BOV's, scavenge pumps, intercooler...and other kit components. If this business takes off a bit, that may change. Either way, if you are interested you are more than welcome to take my car for a spin to see how the turbo kit feels.
