I have been reading about your troubles and didn't want to upset you by saying 10 business days to my door from Buschur.
The installs that are going to be done next week are the cams, clutch, head studs, and the turbo. All are going to be done by Mike at Baierl.
Yes I still have the stock bottom.
Has anyone here replaced their throttle body seals? Mine is leaking like a ****, I bought new seals and may be attempting the install before everything goes in. Any words of wisdom from your guys is appreciated.

i believe you are correct. I have been seeing A LOT of STI's and EVO's at SBR getting tuned by nate. most recent was Bryces 9 with with basic bolt on's and cams making 400 whp and 400 lbs of tq. its a monster and that was on the dynapack so not acting like a dyno fighter, but the numbers would have been higher on the wyo jet

make sure when you put them in that the correct side is facing in. or else they won't seat right, and are very easy to mess up trying to remove and flip around.

I haven't really thought a whole lot about the boost. Probably in the 21-23lbs on pump, and whatever Nate thinks is best on race gas. I am certainly open to the thoughts and suggestions/ stories and experiences of those who have been through this. I am still really excited about getting all this **** in my car before I do all my research about the details...

Did you have a leak or did you do it to get a new TB? I have been hearing about a lot of people having the same problem as me. If it was because of a leak, which seals did you go with? It looks to me like WORKS makes some good ones. Also did it work?

Shaft Seals
We did my old VIII seals with the works seals and they did just fine.
Getting the TB off is easy as pie.
1. Make sure you have all the right tools. All of them. This job requires a couple very specific items. I would get a brand new #2 screw driver to get the TB apart. Some of those screws could EASILY be stripped as they are lock tighted on the tb, like the flap.
2. The shaft seats themselves only really make sense going in one way. How anyone messed that up is beyond me. Just be careful.
3. You use a marker to mark the tps but to make sure its right you can use your laptop and tactrix cable to adjust it after it is on the car. Travis and I did it that way. Very helpful.
4. Have fun. Take your time.
Here is the writeup on how to replace them.

Cams
Skip the head studs unless you are pulling the head. Mike put mine in with the 1x1 method and things were fine but I don't think I ever needed them.
If possible, get JAM no tick lifters installed. Cams will increase the odds of having lifter tick and that noise just sucks.
Get the GSC S1 cams or HKS 272 or 280 cams. I got BC 272 and I was extremely happy with them but latter I wouldn't have minded the extra go power of the larger cam. They're all very nice.
My car never stalled or anything with the AC on with the bc 272 though. Just a nice lopey idle.
I would skip cam gears unless you find a nice cheap set.
My car ran(and I assume still does) 24lbs on pump just fine.
Buy a cheap reflash to drive it home on. TTP sells them for $50.00. This way you can enjoy the car straight away and get the power dialed in latter.

He has a FMIC, intake, boost controller ,exhaust and COSWORTH 9 cams. I am told between them and the GSC2's they make the most power for the 9's. HKS has a slightly lower lift and duration i believe and have not been proven. If you are interested in a good price on some cosworth cams hit me up in a PM.. I can get you a price plus a price installed and tuned!
let me know
eric.
