Good time to make an update...
Got the new intake manifold ready to go in.
MMP Cast Manifold Turbos have arrived
RevShift 95A Motor Mounts and Tranny Mounts (to replace my ECS) to be installed at the same time.
Just need to handle the fuel line, the JB4 PI Controller, and a couple other things.

Time to update this thread!
Due to my business going absolutely crazy last year, the car basically sat all summer, but some things did get accomplished!
Summer 2018 -
Car went off to Redi Imports to have the turbos installed, so I took the chance to have the pipes coated and wrapped.
Cerekote High Temp paint on the downpipes and wrapped with thermowrap.
Wrapped MMP Inlet Piping
Turbos all installed!
While the turbos were getting installed, I had the water pump and t-stat done, so I figured I'd do a radiator at the same time. Picked up a CSF radiator. Before installing I had it painted by a local cerakote guy with their thermal enhancement paint.
There it sat for the rest of last year.
Currently, I have started the custom exhaust.
My bung hole:
I've also got PR coils and a few other things showing up

Nice ride, nice and clean. What is the license plate meaning? grown man fetish?
Did you ever dyno the MMPs?
German Fetish haha, but I always tell people I'm really into GPS'.
Not yet. As soon as I get the fueling in, the PR coils and the exhaust finished. I'll head to the dyno for some baseline and some tuning.
Big Update for you guys!!
Picked up a set of M3 17x8.5 wheels to put some drag radials on this year
Next I decided to pull the HPFP Filter and drill the rail to .185
Next I continued on with the exhaust project
Wideband Lambda sensor
Finished with hangers!
Had to modify the diffuser a bit
Once the exhaust was done, I turned my attention to the rear suspension. I installed the Monroe Upper and lower shock mounts, Whiteline rear sway bar, Hotchkis adjustable endlinks and Rear Diff Lockdown. Might grab the ECS rear trailing arms too.

Now that the suspension stuff is out of the way, I started to install my Performance Fueling Solutions stuff
Got in some BMP extended intake manifold studs, TT phenolic spacer, and got my Sharps manifold back from my local guy who cerakoted it for me. Also decided to do some hand cleaning of the intake ports.
That's it for now! Need to finish the fuel lines, Put the ethanol sensor in, and finish the underhood stuff as well. VRSF 7.5 Intercooler should be here soon too.

I like that exhaust work, one of the better self-made exhausts I've seen pop up. Good to see some @PFS product show up as well!
Latest updates!
Pulled out all the crappy cardboard carpet from the trunk.
Decided I wanted a little bling under the hood, so I inco-colored the stainless studs from BMP. Then I test fit the manifold to get a final length and requirements for the fuel lines
Next up, I started prepping my throttle body. It needed a good cleaning so I decided to disassemble it, scotchbrite and polish up the inside. I also gave the two MAP sensors a good cleaning.
My fuel lines still weren't secured to the body yet, so I got some clamps from McMaster and mounted them using some Rivnuts
All new stainless (and colored) hardware for the intake manifold.
We have a new CNC machine coming so I was forced to put the car back down and roll it out HAHA. So here's a good butt shot.
Oooof that's low. Might need a skid plate
VRSF Race 7.5" Intercooler showed up! Will get the thermal enhancing coating like the radiator got.
Lastly, decided to VHT the high pressure rail and the throttle body. Just waiting for some fittings to finish up that part.

Well I'm back!
Started with pulling the old intercooler off so I can get the new one into there.
