Been driving the car on the road for the past couple of days and feels great with throttle response, everything fits with no rubbing, I have only taken into very short and low psi ranges. Higher psi tuning and runs will continue afer Sevenstock. Coolant temperatures have gone down quite a bit at cruise. Partial throttle load seems to spool up very similar to my BNR/Greddy, once we get a chance to do some WOT runs it should be quite a bit of fun. Here's a picture from today.

Awesome man, can't wait to hear what you think after the power tuning is done. The coolant temp drops are likely due to the fact that you don't have a turbo heating up your coolant.

Looking real nice! I like that motor mount bracket. The manifold looks nice and clean and that you actually have room to tighten the manifold nuts properly. Curious to see it installed with the plumbing. No clearance issues with the underbrace or the manifold to turbo v-band against the frame? I'm assuming not since you said everything fits without rubbing. Nice work man :-)

Thanks for the comments. Everything clears just fine including the underbrace. I do have the heat shield cut away in the footwell area and a bit of hammering from my previous greddy turbo kit which was required.

Wow Gregs, always been in love with your car.... I have been looking for a GReddy upgrade for a while now; and since nothing has popped up I've been considering an entirely new kit..... this is inspiring. PROPS!

Did you have to do any pounding on the passenger foot well to get that baby to fit or it cleared unmodified like my greddy does?
