Change of plans, bought myself a larger turbo, manifold, full exhaust and undergoing the install. The car is uninsured and until my license suspension lifts, I will build it into a beast. Here are some pictures in progress thanks.
Upgraded to GT28R Turbo
Old turbo out
New turbo too big w/ the AC compressor in the way
Tight fit, but will make it work...

Car is currently being completed by Jordan Gladman, its in good hands, he was kind enough to do alot of the "dirty" work and his a great guy to deal with. My license suspension lifts tomorrow and will be expecting my car to be completed soon after. Looking forward to a test tune and dyno run when I get a new clutch installed that should be arriving later this month. No pictures yet ;)
Projected RWHP: 260-270
Projected TQ: 280-290
Projected 1/4 Time: 13.5-13.9 (Heres hoping)
