More of a can't wait, than a build thread.
Well everything is all buttoned up and to this date I have not formally run into anyone with my setup. I've talked to AMS, ETC, and Forced Performance who are all great companies by the way. I would also like to thank UCS in MD as well.
Anyway everything will be all buttoned up tomorrow once I put the intake on. My car has undergone the following changes.
Upgraded from IX turbo to ported FP Black
Stock injectors to 1200CC w/ upgraded fuel rail
Upgraded oil lines
HKS Carbon-Ti to Greddy Ti full 3"
AMS F1-I intake manifold and Boomba racing 75MM TB.
Upgraded IC piping lower and upper (doesn't really matter but ok).
Got rid of ARC induction box for HKS RS intake.
I think that's it if not oh well I probably forgot it.
Currently in car engine wise.
Fully built head with ferrea valves and Cosworth M3 IX cams.
Ported Manifold
DNP 02 Housing
Tune (coming)
Wahlbro fuel pump
Garret 3.5" core fmic
HKS EVC (not until tune is done really but will go back in)
and I think that's it. I don't plan on making more than 440whp partly because of the connecting rod situation and I don't want to clear 380wtq. However come mid summer I'll be looking into a high rev 2.3l (8500 safely), built 2.1l, or even a 2.4l really not sure where I want to be with the block right now. Oh well should be tuned in a week or two and we'll see what she makes.
