Update: 02/06/2021 … Ordered my STM FF Manifold , as soon as that gets finished its being sent to Justin@ detective coatings, along with my 02 housing, dump tube and exhaust housing on my turbo. Today I'm going to order the Dei Turbo Blanket and all the fluids I will need from Amsoil. So the only thing left now is , order the Turbo, Exhaust and RPF1's.

I know rpf1’s are over played, I’m ok with that, price per pound best wheel. I wanted bbs wheels but since they are the price of gold now, I’d rather buy fresh even lighter rpf1’s

Overplayed but still, look so good. The right fitment offset and its just finishes the car the right way, and light you said its a lighter wheel.

UPDATE: 03/06/2021: Everything is at Detective Coatings to get Ceramic Coated, should have the manifold mounted and ready to go for the turbo. Hoping to have the car headed up to STM no later then the first week of May.
