HOLY fuck I just typed out a bunch of stuff and it's all gone now. FUCK!!!!

I see what you mean about that FPR. I've seen those before but I didn't know they were referred to as Euro.

That fuel cell is crazy. I can't believe it fits under the bin, and I like how it uses all the previously unused space as it angles back. Those fenders came out really nice too! Do you have fans mounted to the back of your oil coolers? That ABS relocation must have taken an amount of work I wouldn't want to do LOL. Seems like it would have taken more than you're letting on lol. I like that CAI too. I was thinking of doing something similar, just not that far forward, maybe just where the filter is beside the headlight. Oh I like that heat shield above the DP too.

I love those short runners. SUPER short. Do you have any problems with oil drainage from the turbo to the pan? Do you still use the front oil drain hole? I have two EGT bungs I'd like to weld in too, looks like there might be room on top of the runners. Not sure if it would be easy to get in there around the turbo to install them though. Did you get that exhaust flange from Racing Beat? Did you use 304 or 321 for that runner? I can't believe you were able to route the WG dump back into the exhaust too, that's awesome. I have so much trouble putting mine back together with just one WG as it is. I'd love to do this though and cut down on noise. And I love the 4" DP, but I don't want to get rid of the resonated MP and GReddy Ti, so I'm not sure a 4" DP alone would be very beneficial. Are you running water/coolant to those wastegates? If so, where did you route them from and back to? I bought the same ones and I'm trying to figure out where to source the water from.

What brand IC core is that? Did you do the same size piping on both ends of the IC? I've been looking at Bell IC cores and I'm trying to figure out what size to get so it's not too big and not too small. My main goal is response. Have you ever used a different IC and different exhaust manifold with that turbo? If so, is there a noticeable difference in response between this setup and that one?

Thanks for sharing!
