I'm finally ready to go in for my final tune and to crank the boost up! Here's some updated pics now that I have my bumper painted. I have koni's and H&R's itching to go on anytime now....

Here's the dyno sheets showing what my car is putting down on the break-in tune @ 3.5psi. The tune is on the rich side, but not real bad. Once broken in, it'll be fine tuned and the boost will be cranked up to 12psi.
